More proof that USB C Should be the norm!

For DipCDuino-U4

AtomSoftTech once again delivers with a cute and capable drop-in and go Arduino flavor. But this one brings the best connector to the table. Highly recommended.

EXcellent for breadboarding!

For dipDuino 1.2

This is an excellent product for breadboarding projects. It provides full Arduino capabilities in a narrow DIP form factor that allows 4 connection points per Arduino pin, plus 4 rows between headers for neat interconnects between other components. No more rats nests of long wires, and very convenient to use with scope probes. The multipurpose LCD is a nice feature. The price seemed high initially, but after allowing for the amortization of engineering costs over a small production run, it is excellent value.

I do not know how the castellated holes on the PCB are supposed to be used, since there are SMD components on the underside of the PCB, and be sure to read the errata sheet explaining the inverted labeling of the 5V and A7 pins.

The description is spot on

For BreadboardBuddy Uni v3

It's a timesaver, full stop. The collection of features it brings is something I end up using at some point in almost every project, so having it all on one, leave-on-the-breadboard design is more than ideal! You won't regret picking one up.

Holy thin, Batman!

For dipDuino 1.2

If you're looking for a duino-type to cram in the most minute of crevasses, your search has ended. Want to slip one in a picture frame? Done. Under a floorboard? Yep. Hide it behind a particularly narrow tree? Why not!

All the features you expect are there, plus the use of the micro RGB LED to combine the tx/rx/power is especially clever.

Impressed and Happy!

For 14W LED Panel Flasher

The flasher works excellently on LED panels and Lasers, which is what we use in clinic for pain and injuries.

Jason is a great guy, and was a gentleman to deal with when shipping took too long.

The box is well built, sturdy and easy to use.

You can pulse at slow rates or high for intensity. This can turn any light therapy with constant power into a very useful tool.

I'm so impressed!

Just what I needed!

For 14W LED Panel Flasher

The panel flasher works perfectly and even better than expected. The item was packaged perfectly (box perfect fit with quality bubble wrap). The package was promptly shipped. The seller's communication with me was exemplary. Thank you!!!!!

Awesome

For tinyLEDx8 Universal

As soon as I saw this I knew I wanted a bunch. No more messy discrete LEDs and resistors. I bought four, and I'll be buying more in the future.

Awesome

For BreadboardBuddy Pro

One day I was working on a breadboard project, and I had an idea for simplifying my usual setup for power, indicator light, etc. I started drawing up plans for it, then decided to search online for a similar product first. This thing does everything I wanted and more. I'll probably never use a breadboard without one again. So far I haven't had a chance to try out the USB functionality - it's just a little power supply unit for me - but even without that it was worth the price.

There isn't really any documentation that I could find, but it's self explanatory.

Alex | Oct. 17, 2015

Worked only for a few minutes, no documentation provided

For MicroUartBuddy

I have been using this product to interface to a microcontroller via the uart port.

Upon connecting the product to the computer via USB, it was recognised and installed successfully. However after a few minutes of operation and without connecting anything to it, it stopped functioning. It is no longer recognised when connected and I have tried 3 computers.

I requested some pinout information from the seller as the silkscreen legends do not match the pinout of the controller IC used. I never received a reply, despite the product page claiming that a schematic is available.

Very poor overall.

Response from AtomSoftTech | Oct. 17, 2015

I am truly sorry about that. If you would like I can send you either a label to send me back the device for a complete replacement. It will not be refurbished back to you. I will send a new board alone with documentation. For some reason our doc. site has been shut down and all information is lost. I have to recreate all the information from scratch. Not only this product.

David | June 10, 2015

I have several of these, use them all the time.

For BreadboardBuddy Pro

I find it very convenient to have the serial port and the reset button on the board. I have not yet used the rechargeable feature, still looking for a good battery to use. Right now I use one of those USB batteries.

Excellent product backed by great support

For ESPBuddy v3 (Flasher)

As a novice who's trying to work a lot with breadboards, I've purchased several convenient and time-saving products from AtomSoftTech. Their quality is excellent, and I've had no trouble soldering on the headers for those products that come with them separate. My ESPBuddy v2 worked perfectly the first time I used it, in contrast to the several hours I spent trying to connect everything with ribbon cable and switch between normal and flash-burning mode.

I'd also like to compliment AtomSoftTech on their support, which has been superb. My rookie questions were answered more quickly than I could have hoped, and always in a patient and friendly way.

It's great to have so many "buddies" when you're starting out in electronics... thanks again!

Response from AtomSoftTech | April 1, 2015

Thanks Jeff for the awesome review and praise. You are most welcomed and I hope my products will make your electronic projects a bit easier to start. Remember I also take ideas for boards, so if you have an idea that you would like seen brought to life and if it's generic enough to help others ill be sure to create it and have it on sale here.

All thanks go to you customers. Without you all i wouldn't be able to create such cool boards.

SX1509 16 Bit IO Expander

For SX1509 16 Bit IO Expander

This SX1509 16 Bit IO Expander is just what I was looking for. It works Great with the arduino library. It really simplifies wiring up my projects and saves pins on my arduinos to drive a TFT display in 8 bit mode.
I also use the TinyLedx4 and 8 andthe I/O buddy and a 4x4 matrix keypad connected to the SX1509 16 Bit IO Expander.

ESPBuddy V2 (Flasher) Works Great

For ESPBuddy v3 (Flasher)

Works Great and really simplifies flashing firmware on almost any ESP8266 module.
Its a high quality board and does what it says.

Response from AtomSoftTech | April 1, 2015

Thanks Tom! I love hearing that one of my boards actually help. Makes me proud.

Chris | March 11, 2015

Works great, had to solder

For ESP8266 Buddy v2

The ESP8266 Buddy is exactly what I needed to make by ESP8266 breadboard ready! The only unexpected thing was that it was not assembled, but the parts were easy to solder together and it's working great now!

Edit: I just re-read the listing and it does note that the parts are not assembled. :) Make sure you read before you order.

Ryan | March 11, 2015

Very handy

For tinyLEDx4

Bought some bare boards and put them together with my own 0603 components. These things are super handy. I use them as a poor man's logic analyzer all the time. Wondering what a chip in your breadbaorded circuit is doing? Slap one of these in (and potentially slow the clock down). I find the 8 LED ones to be a bit more useful, but there are times when these are enough, and are easier to fit in.

Ryan | March 11, 2015

Super handy

For tinyLEDx8 Universal

Chris | Feb. 11, 2015

Thank You

For ESP8266 Buddy v2

Great product. Thanks.

Breadboarding Must-Have!

For tinyLEDx8 Universal

This seller makes a bunch of great breadboarding tools. These are great for people starting out (youth or otherwise) and for the experienced looking for a much easier tool than hunting down 8 LEDs and some kinda-close resistors. this thing saves me time and space.. love it.. Keep the goodies coming! I'll buy more soon.

Response from AtomSoftTech | Jan. 20, 2015

Thanks! Ill be sure to keep creating and I'm glad you find my products useful.

Cute little switches for breadboarding.

For AtomSW

Clever idea for breadboarding. No more offboard switches and wires.

A big breadboard space saver!!

For tinyLED - 3 PACK

Talk about an obvious item to have.. I haven't seen these before.

I grabbed a couple and I tell you they make a huge difference on board space! I soldered the pins on mine (I think you can have him do this for you?) I got mine with 220 Ohm resistors so they work well with 5/3.3V. Those are optional and you can get different sizes. If you're curious about what size you should get ask AtomSoftTech.. very helpful, very prompt.... the speed of delivery was super quick even across the US.

It's amazing how much you don't realize 4 LEDs and their current limiting resistors take up on a board. I tried to upload an imagine but it's not working out with Tindie for some reason despite just recently uploading one for another project. Perhaps cost of product per MB of imagine isn't working out? :D Trust me these will save you a ton of space and they're much easier than digging for the right resistors. Review Image

A new staple of my breadboard

For PIC18F27J53 USB Breakout

I had to wait a bit to review this so I cold actually use it before I reviewed the item. In short, works great; I love it.

Pros:
DIP package - I hate when I accidentally blow something up or I want to migrate it to a project not on a dev board... handy for sure.
Breadboard Friendly - This is my favorite way to develop, could be a con for others?
Onboard Reset / Power LED / USB+ Power Supply - Whats more to say? Very handy!
Onboard 12Mhz xtal - this worked out for developing code. I used the PLLDIV Divide by 3 to keep it USB friendly.
Boot Loader - I can't speak for this ... I don't use boot loaders but I think it's a plus for people who wouldn't want to by the PICKit 3! They even provide the .hex code for the bootloader for people like me that might blow it away (on purpose).. but then I can load it back up if I want to use it or give this to someone.
ICSP header - A must, sure you can wire this up to an interface but very nice to have on the board. I forgot to check the "1" pin and soldered a right angle connector on the top of the board, this makes you have to plug your PICKit in upside down.. oops. Oh well. If I get another one I'll solder it under or just put a straight pin header on.

Cons:
RA6/7 not on the board.. watchout for that because the pins the board are *almost* like they are in the DIP package.. they brought VDD/GND to where these pins would be. These pins of course go to the XTAL.. so you're minus two pins if you decide to use INTOSC... no big deal.. it doesn't make sense not to use the XTAL. Not much to complain about.

Smart design, versatile, handy

For AtomSW

It's impressive to see how something so simple can be so well thought out.
Nice work. It speaks to how you design all your products.

Response from AtomSoftTech | Nov. 29, 2014

Thank You BroHogan, simplicity is the key to getting things done. Little pieces that JUST WORK are what build complex designs :)

Best thing out there for breadboard power supplies...

For Breadboard Buddy 6.2

I have a couple breadboard supplies but after I got this one, they've all met the bin in the back of the bench.. this breadboard buddy supplies voltage just like all the other ones out there.. 5V or 3.3V, powered off USB.. cool, but the real feature is the USB to serial converter! Excellent! A maker/hacker dream come true.

Response from AtomSoftTech | Nov. 24, 2014

Thanks for the review Charles, I am glad you are satisfied with the Breadboard Buddy. I've been using it for years. Enjoy!
