Bridge the gap between the real world and your computer with Jameco's selection of Arduino products & accessories. You'll be able to Arduino troubleshoot a variety of issues & code problems with our kits & projects. Minimize errors and build faster with the Beginner Kit for Arduino - which comes with more useful components and higher quality parts. Easy to locate & relocate quickly, all the components feature customized black labels. Solarbotics Ardweeny Microcontroller (UNO-compatible) Looking to build the smallest, handiest, bread-board friendly Arduino-compatible microcontroller? The Ardweeny fits on the back of the included ATmega328, taking up no more valuable breadboard space than the microcontroller itself! We also combined the Ardweeny with several companion products to compliment the microcontroller; See our Ardweeny Super Combo (P/N: 2243911). We love Arduino. Those Italians know how to design an excellent microcontroller platform and share it with the world, and Mr. Kimio Kosaka's "One-Chip-Arduino" project inspired us to develop the Ardweeny; the smallest Arduino you can build yourself with through-hole components! We've designed a backpack printed-circuit board that fits on top of an Atmel ATmega328 (it would fit on an ATmega168 too), straddling it. Solder the pins to the microcontroller's legs, and you're ready to join the open-source hardware revolution! Fully Arduino-compatible! Stacks onto the back of an ATmega328 chip (included) Takes same 28-pin footprint as the microcontroller itself! Features Pin-13 LED and reset button Simple construction - only 7 parts plus pins & PCB! Ideal for breadboard applications Note: Requires external USB-to-TTL FTDI-type cable or adapter.

worked great.. Just like an Arduino Uno.

Nice bag of parts, but throw the PCB away
The main point is that all the components to start up an ATMEL 328p, including the CPU, are all included and you can solder them together yourself on a board found elsewhere.Take a close look at that picture and find the chip. Yes, it's mounted UNDERNEATH the PCB and solder to the ends of the headers which is very difficult to make a reliable and solid solder connection without damaging the chip or the pins and certain, certainly, certainly not recommended in a scenario where reliability is important. If the solder isn't perfect, there is no socket or breadboard on earth that it will fit into. This just isn't the way these things are supposed to be done, and for good reason.If you are learning Arduino, buy the real thing to learn on because, as assembled, the device will more than likely not work (mine didn't - will be desolder/salvaged for parts).The only way I could recommend this is for the expert builder that wants all the essential components in a convenient one-line shopping list, but already has a PCB made for mounting the components.

I look foward to several more of these...
...but at $15 shipping, it better come in gold leaf wrapping, with a DVD of how it can be used. Shesh...it's barely a #11 envelope sized thing. $15?!?!
