Or might you sell a kit without the MCU, but with the other parts? A package with the parts for the power supply would be great, too. Getting a few small parts by mail order is a pain. I looked at the Arduino Mega thinking a kit like that would be nice, but found out that the ATMega128 seems to only come as a surface mount chip. Your products are great. I found your site at just the right time. I've been playing with an Arduino Duemilanove for a few months now and feel comfortable in putting something like your kits together. I would actually like a board with an AVR32 that could run Linux. Do you plan on a kit with an ATMega328? Or might you sell a kit without the MCU, but with the other parts?

Well done - I like the changes. Hi, I like the fact that you do listen to "feedback" and improve your products over time.

Power supply parts are available. This kit doesn't include connectors, because it is hard to anticipate exactly what people want. I personally like to use a 9V battery clip + male/female polarised headers, but you can also use barrel connectors and a wall wart. The atmega128 is also being considered. For this one I'm planning on selling the surface mounted device pre soldered onto the board. Other things on the horizon include * ATTiny2313 (this will be a half size board) * ATTiny13 (this will be a half size board) * Half size version of the 28 pin AVR board Please keep on sending feedback and wish lists.

You might consider adding space for a USB connector to the board, or maybe just remove a section of the traces and lay down some generic pads and traces for an SOIC to be soldered in.
