This section allows you to bring unregulated power to the board using a 2.1mm barrel connector or a 2 pin header. The power supply core is a voltage regulator. It is expected that most people would use an L7805, but other regulators would also work.

All in all there are 4 improvements:

• Addition of power supply section
• ISP-6 interface is now 2x3 pin instead...

This makes it a lot easy to wire up the connectors. All you need to do is buy the colours you need, then just push them in.





They come in 7 highly fashionable...
