Dangerous Prototypes

I managed to get my 7400 Logic PLL Based Switcher in the third place category of the Dangerous Prototypes Open 7400/4000 Series Logic Contest. Dangerous Prototypes had the neat idea to let the winners pick their own prizes from the many sponsor donated kits & parts; that way everyone gets something they want. I picked out one of the 3x ProtoStack ATmega328 Developments Kits they donated. I've been messing around with my Arduino Uno for a while and was looking to expand my Atmel AVR knowledge a bit and thought building up this kit and turning it into an Arduino clone would be a fun project. I figured I'd give a little review of the kit as I went along as well.

For the rest of my review and detailed build and programming description go to my blog here:

Overall I am pretty happy with the ProtoStack ATmega328 Development Kit and would highly recommend anyone getting one. I am excited to build up a few new projects with this board; having the extra prototyping space without having to stack a proto shield is a huge plus. Thanks ProtoStack for sponsoring the 7400 contest and getting me this kit and USBasp programmer!

Also Thank You Dangerous Prototypes for putting on the contest! It was a lot of fun seeing all the cool project ideas.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad the prize worked out so well for you, it was too much of a task to assign prizes, so it was much easier to let you pick :)
