Franzininho DIY Board
The Franzininho DIY was developed with a "Do It Yourself" philosophy and is based on the Arduino platform. The goal is for people who acquire it to follow the Maker journey — assembling and programming their own Arduino-compatible board.
It is sold as a soldering kit. We do not recommend buying a pre-assembled Franzininho DIY, since the pedagogical objective includes the assembly journey.
It is an excellent choice for soldering workshops and first steps with Arduino programming. With easy-to-identify and easy-to-solder components, anyone with little or no soldering experience can assemble the board and quickly start building projects such as automation systems, robots, and games (see examples in our documentation).
The board is based on the ATtiny85 microcontroller and was created for educational purposes. It targets technical course students, engineering students, makers, and hobbyists who want to learn about prototyping, soldering, electronics, and programming in a true DIY experience.
The board has 5 I/O pins, a power indicator LED, a general-purpose LED, a USB connector for power and programming, an external power connector, and a Reset button.
Pinout
The numbering of pins 4 and 5 on the silkscreen changed starting from V2RV2. A software adjustment is still needed.
