How to build your own Arduino UNO using DIY Arduino kit

You’re probably aware that Arduino hardware comes in a variety of configurations. Arduinos have also been manufactured on strip boards, offering them a variety of aesthetics. Here’s another Arduino, this time in the form of a basic do-it-yourself (DIY) kit. It works in the same way as any other Arduino UNO board. However, because it lacks the FT232RL chip, you’ll need to use a separate FTDI basic module to burn your sketch.

This kit includes everything you’ll need to make your own Uno-compatible Arduino board at home. Following the assembly guide, you’ll have a fully working Arduino-compatible development board after some simple soldering. Simply solder everything together, attach an FTDI Basic, and load your favourite sketch using the Arduino IDE. The bundled ATmega328 comes pre-loaded with the “Optiboot” bootloader, so you don’t have to worry about installing the firmware.

The board may be powered by an FTDI connection or a regulated 6–15 VDC power source attached to either the DC barrel jack or the 2 pin screw terminal after it has been constructed.

To use the Arduino IDE to load code, you’ll need an FTDI Basic or FTDI cable.
