I recently discovered a nicely made Arduino shield for programming Amtel microcontrollers, which was designed by Jeff Murchison. Jeff is sellling the shields on Tindie. Unfortunately, the shield was out of stock at the time of writing. Thus, I dowloaded his fritzing project files from github and ordered a PCB at fritzing.org. It saved me of going through the hassle with German customs as well, since Jeff’s shields are shipping from Canada.

16×2 LCD backpack reloaded …
In order to learn how to produce PCBs, I designed a backpack for the popular standard HD44780 LCDs. It is similar to the previous backpack which I had assembled on a strip-board. Python and Arduino sketches can be found on my Arduino project pages.
