Fletchtronics

Fletchtronics is now offering the first in a series of Complete Solutions, a set of useful components and development boards.

Complete means centralized information. You won't have to search around the web for information about the component. All relevant links and immediately important information will be posted on the product page.

Complete means Eagle support. All relevant footprints will be provided in Eagle library format. All relevant schematics will be provided in Eagle schematic format.

Complete means code. A working open source AVR C language driver will be supplied with each product. Possibly drivers for other controllers will be supplied, if they are contributed by users, considered important to hobbyists, or by popular demand. For controllers other than Atmel, links to external sites may be supplied instead of source code from fletchtronics.

Complete means support for multiple microcontrollers. At least four demos will be provided with each product in a range of 8-bit AVR microcontrollers. These include: BumbleB, ATtiny24, ATmega168, ATmega32. A wide range of test controllers finds bugs early and eases porting to other environments.

Complete means Userial support. A full set of commands for communicating with the device with the BumbleB firmware will be supplied whenever possible.

Complete means support. Find help here on fletchtronics.net in the comments sections, and in the BumbleB IRC channel.

Complete means taking user requests seriously. Post your suggestions for improvements or requests for additional microcontroller support in the comment form on product pages. If possible and practical for hobbyist engineers, your additions will help improve the repository of information. Patches for source code is always appreciated and can help fix problems much more quickly than little ol' fletch by himself.

With a fletchtronics.net Complete Solution, you will get up and running very quickly. Keep an eye out for the checkbox on relevant products.

The first product in the series is PCA9555, an i2c IO expander from NXP. The full listing will always be available on the complete solutions category page. So take a look, hopefully you'll find products that suit your needs. If you'd like to make a suggestion for a future Complete Solution, please send details via the site contact form and choose "Complete Solutions Suggestion". Each product takes a long time to prepare, so beware that the catalog will grow slowly!
