Ardunio USB board
by stugs on Mar.05, 2008, under tools
toxicboy has recently accepted Make magazine as his lord and savior and has been feeding me some neat project ideas. One of the more interesting items he’s passed along was the Arduino Diecimila Plus USB board. For the low price of $34.99 it’s worth checking out.
I’ve had dreams of building my own UAV to spy on my neighbors pets and thought this little guy would be a great addition to my project. As chance would have it, Hack A Day
has a link to an Arduino powered blimp.
I did some searching for other UAV projects that use the board I found a sub built by University of Ottawa. The ARISE website has some details and an incredibly boring video of their project. Even the catchy music can’t make that video interesting.

Unfortunately, the picture included with this post is a tad outdated. The boards now include a UBS interface and can be powered via USB or 9v adapter.
