Arduino Shield 0.5

The Bpod/Arduino shield allows Bpod to control Arduino devices. It's very simple to build. Here's how.

1. Order all parts in the Bill of Materials.
   • These parts can be purchased from commercial suppliers except for the printed circuit board.
   • We have previously used SeeedStudio's FusionPCB service as follows:
     • QTY: 10
     • PCB Layer: 2
     • PCB Thickness: 1.6mm
     • PCB Dimension: 5cm max X 10cm max
     • PCB Color: green
     • Surface Finish: HASL
   • This should work out to ~$2.39 per board for an order of 10 boards (Jan 2014). Select "Next".
   • Select: C:\Bpod\CAD\PCB\BpodArduinoShield\BpodArduinoShield_r1_Gerber.zip and finish the order.
2. Gather tools. You'll need:
   • A clean soldering iron and sponge
   • Solder
3. Follow the assembly instructions

Assembly Instructions

• Solder the components into the board as shown.
• DO NOT cut the legs from the bottom of the strip headers after soldering - they will plug into Arduino.
