Intro

 

 

Messing around with Pinguino (and thinking about the most popular 8bit boards, designed for breadboard mounting) I found that it could be interesting designing,

 

• a new board with Arduino format, to be physically compatible with its shields

• with two IC sockets,  allowing to interchange both 8 bit micros available (18F4450 and 18F2250).

 

After several trials, here is Pinguino mm8; a simple development board that meets both objectives.

 

 

​

In case anyone else is interested, I share it here as OSHW  (Open Source Hardware),  so anyone can use or modify it under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

 

 

Versions

 

 

1.10

​

- RA3 pin is now connected to AREF to improve compatibility with shields requiring it

- VUSB connected to GND (on the first version was mistakenly disconnected) including a 220nF capacitor

Micros

 

Although both micros are supported (18F2550 y 18F4550) mm8 is not designed to mount both of  them at the same time.

 

Ref: PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550 Data Sheet.

 

 

LDOs

 

mm8 uses two LDO regulators 1)  to adjust the external input to 5V and 2)  to feed the 3V3 pin that some Arduino shields need. Any SOT-223 LDO will work,  but I suggest you to test the  MIC391XX  series from Micrel.

Pin Mapping

 

The  front silkscreen contains the Arduino-style pin notations and the back has the microcontroller pin nomenclature.

Anyway, here you have a list with the signal pins mapping (including also the standard Pinguino pins for reference):
