[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge-edition LeOlympia boards at CHM tomorrow!

[Jake]

I want to remind everyone that I have special Noisebridge edition 
LeOlympia boards, with all the parts, for $20 each.

they are Arduino Leonardo clones, which have an ATMega32U4 which has 
built-in USB.  No programmer needed!  Just plug it in and go. *

This chip is cool because not only does it pretend to be a USB serial port 
(for programming it and communications or whatever) but you can easily 
make it pretend to be a keyboard, mouse, or even a disk drive sorta 
thing.. or pretend to be a webcam, i dunno..

these kits are surface mount, so if you don't know how to build them i'll 
walk you through it in person.  I have a pretty good method that doesn't 
use any special tools (except you need just the right flux).

they are comparable to the MCHK except $20 instead of $12, slower, and 
they don't come with those random peripherals.  But they all come with USB 
jacks, and the software to use them is 100% totally already working!

Come to circuit hacking monday tomorrow to see them in person and get one 
for yourself!

* after assembly, I will flash the STK500 serial bootloader onto the chip 
with a USBtinyISP through the included 6-pin ICSP header
