StackFoundry will be closed from December 22nd to December 27th, as well as January 1st. No orders will ship, and we will be unable to answer any e-mails during this time. Its been a great launch year for our directly branded hardware, but we still have a long way to go. Look for a set of new products in the first quarter of 2010.
We also have a mention on the AVRFreaks.net news page. Thanks AVRFreaks!
Instead of going out and confronting the insanity of lines at 4AM, you can shop online. The store is offering 10% off for Black Friday (Nov 27) and following Saturday (Nov 28). Use the coupon code STAYHOME at the store. Pick up your AVR32 or XMEGA board today!
The first revision Megavore boards are now available in the store!
There is one caveat to the board: the Arduino shield function does not work well as the pin spacing is incorrect. As such, we have labeled the board the “Non-Arduino” version. However, if you are looking for a general purpose XMega development board, pick one up today!
We are also critically low on male pin headers – more are coming but orders may become delayed.
We’ve just posted the Copper AVR32 stick/development board quick start guide, which is available at the download site: http://dl.stackfoundry.org/hardware/copper/
The Copper features an integrated USB bootloader which allows for reprogramming the device with nothing but the USB port. However, it can be a bit confusing to get everything set up correctly (install the trampoline in build rules, use the right linker commands, and get the drivers working), outside of AVR32 Studio or the included AVR32 Software Framework examples (which are a great way to get going by the way).
The most important document is the following PDF from Atmel: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc7745.pdf, which is meaty enough to require several read-troughs.
We have prepared the following tips to get running with the DFU:
A Wiki with more collaborative information is in the works, so stay tuned!
Copper on a breadboard
We have also posted a smattering of new products:
Thats it for now!
We’re busy making the needed changes to the Arduino standard libraries to correctly support the Megavore, and in turn the AVR XMega. Stay tuned for more details!
And good luck to LeafLabs on their STM32 based board!
StackFoundry has an Eagle library collection we use on a regular basis, and continue to add parts to as we design them into products. We don’t have a complete list of all the parts in the library, but any design we make will have all of its component parts sourced from the it.
Note that some of the libraries are extensions of the CadSoft original Eagle libraries – such as rcl, supply1, atmel, etc. Some are collections of other libraries, and some are brand-new originals.
You can find the collection via gitweb at http://git.stackfoundry.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=electronics/eagle-lib.git;a=summary or clone it directly via
git clone git://git.stackfoundry.org/electronics/eagle-lib.git
As part of our open source hardware movement, we have released the schematics and Eagle files for both the Copper AVR32 stick and the Megavore XMEGA header board with Arduino-compatible pinout. The Magnetovore is not yet ready for release, but will be soon(tm). The information is available on the download server:
http://dl.stackfoundry.org/hardware/
As described in the Schematic and PDF, the license used is the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license.
Stay tuned for some of our other projects (looking at the NXP1768 and the MSP430)!
We are pleased to announce that credit cards are now directly accepted at the StackFoundry store, without having to use the Amazon.com Payments system. We get a better rate, and you no-longer need an Amazon.com account. In addition, this system lets us set up pre-orders and finer grained billing.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
