Introduction

The MBino is an Arduino^® compatible processor board and can be plugged into a MakerBus. The MBino has the following features:

• The MBino has the same physical size and characteristics as an Arduino^® Uno. This includes exact board shape, mounting holes, connector placement, etc. The only difference is that the MBino does not have a USB B connector.
• Instead of a USB B connector, the MBino has a 3-pin connector that is compatible with FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 3.3V FTDI USB to 6-pin serial cable from FTDI.
• The MBino has an AVR ATmega324 proecessor instead of an AVR ATMega328. The ATmega324 has 2 UART's, one of which is used by the Arduino IDE and the other which is dedicated to the MakerBus.
• The MBino is has a bootloader that is compatible with the Arduino IDE.
• All shield boards that that are designed to work with the Arduino Uno will work with the MBino.
• The MBino can be physically reset from the MakeBus. (implemented in upcoming Rev. C), not Rev. B.
