It can be used to control semi-permanent electronic art and display installations as well as a variety of other uses where USB communications are not a priority.

Veliero was developed and tested using the USBtinyISP AVR programmer. When setting up the Arduino IDE to program Veliero, select TOOLS-->BOARD-->Deumilanove w/Atmega328. Then select TOOLS-->PROGRAMMER-->USBtinyISP.

Veliero comes completely assembled as shown with all the headers and connectors installed. A bootloader has been loaded so as to set the fuses correctly. However, the bootloader is not necessary for use and can be overwritten to open more memory space. Each Veliero is hand-assembled by the designer in Gilbert, Arizona.

Features:

• Arduino form-factor
• Mounting holes, power jack, and all headers (including the ICSP) are in the correct places
• Uses the reliable ATmega328P
• On board regulated 5vdc, 250mA power supply--up to 20vdc input
• A green LED on pin 13
• 2.1 x 5.5mm power jack
• Programs via AVR programmer as a Deumilanove w/Atmega328

Veliero is intended for users familiar with AVR ISP programming and Arduino IDE.
