Boldport “The Cuttle” Arrived

Posted on 2016-08-17 by Lucky Resistor

Today the new project from Boldport Club arrived. It is called “The Cuttle” and it is a minimal configuration of the ATMega328-PU microcontroller with minimal elements to get it running.

As usual the PCB is artfully designed in shape of a cuttlefish. Soldering was easy this time.

Here some photos of the project how it arrived and at the end the final version with all components soldered into place.

I also made a short video where you see the ATMega in action:

The source code for the LED effect shown in the video is very simple:

void setup() {
  DDRD = 0xff;
  PORTD = 0x0f;
}
void loop() {
  const uint8_t first = ((PORTD & 0x80) != 0) ? 1 : 0;
  PORTD = ((PORTD << 1) | first);
  delay(50);
}

    Dear Lucky Resistor, could I be so bold to ask you to also post how you uploaded the code to the Cuttle? I just finished soldering it, which indeed was easy enough, but I cant find any instructions anywhere on how to upload some Arduino code to it.

      Hi Peter,
      This board from Boldport ist just the microcontroller you can use for any project. There is no predefined software you have to run on it. https://boldport.com/shop/the-cuttle

      Ah, I misread your question. All what you need is a serial to USB adapter to program the chip. There are ones with headers which fit the board exactly. I recommend this cable: https://ftdichip.com/products/ttl-232r-5v/
