[dorkbotpdx-blabber] [GroupOrder] next group order is mondayJan 12. also: SuperArduino!

[Paul Stoffregen]

Stuff for the '328 was recently added to the Arduino IDE source in svn, 
which will eventually become the 0013 release.  It's still too early to 
know if version 0013 will "officially" support the '328 out of the box, 
but chances are looking pretty good.

Of course, if you want more memory, Zach Hoeken's Sanguino board has 
twice as much as the '328, and a lot more I/O too.  It requires adding 
files to your Arduino installation, but it's easier than the '328.

I'm working on a board right now that has the same memory as the 
Sanguino, and even more I/O in a smaller form factor (but still 
breadboard friendly).  Mine requires adding files, just like Zach's 
Sanguino, though there is an installer than does it for you.  If all 
goes well, you should this new little board at the next meeting!

Neither of these use a pin compatible chip, so the '328 is of course the 
only way to get more by just plugging a chip into an existing Dorkboard 
or Arduino board.  Hopefully another 20-some will get on the order so we 
all pay only $3.30......
