adds an easiest to cut trace for disabling the
auto-reset, along with a solder jumper for
re-enabling it.

Note: around March 1st, 2009, the Duemilanove

started to ship with the ATmega328p instead of
the ATmega168.

Arduino Diecimila

The main change in the Arduino Diecimila is that it

can be reset from the computer, without the need
to physically press the reset button on the board.

The Diecimila uses a low dropout voltage regulator

which lowers the board's power consumption
when powered by an external supply (AC/DC
adapter or battery). A resettable polyfuse protects
your computer's USB ports from shorts and
surges. It also provides pin headers for the reset
line and for 3.3V. There is a built-in LED on pin 13.
Some blue Diecimila boards say "Prototype -
Limited Edition" but are in fact fully-tested
production boards (the actual prototypes are red).

LilyPad Arduino 04

This revision uses the ATmega328V instead of the

ATmega168V. All other detials are identical to
version 03.

LilyPad Arduino 03

This revision has a 6-pin programming header

that's compatible with FTDI USB cables and the
Sparkfun FTDI Basic Breakout. It adds support for

The Arduino NG uses the FTDI FT232RL USB-to-
Serial converter, which requires fewer external
components that the FT232BM. It also has a
built-in LED on pin 13 (which may interfere with
SPI communication). Later NG's shipped with an
ATmega168 instead of an ATmega8, though either
chip can be used with any board. (schematic)
Arduino Extreme v2
Version 2 of the Arduino Extreme uses a gridded
ground plane and includes the new
"www.arduino.cc" URL.
Arduino Extreme
The Arduino Extreme uses many more surface
mount components than previous USB Arduino
boards and comes with female pin headers. It also
has RX and TX LEDs that indicate when data is
being sent to or from the board.

LilyPad Arduino 01
In the first revision of the LilyPad Arduino the
10-pin ICSP header was changed to a 6-pin ICSP
header and a four pin header w/ RX, TX, +5V, and
GND was added.
LilyPad Arduino 00
The initial design of the Arduino LilyPad had a
10-pin ICSP header and used the internal clock on
the ATmega168 rather than an external oscillator.
