For those wanting a Raduino board.
There is a better option than the orginal Raduino board with it Soldered - in Nano.
RaduinoX PCB designed to add some features.
I have Lots of Bare PCBs and some assembled and tested. Lots of Bare PCBS!
Several sold to guys in this group.
I used this board, LCD, and Rotary Encoder to make a nice dedicated RF signal generator.
1) I wanted to be able to plug Nano in and out, not soldered. I wanted the USB connect next to the side of the cabinet so I can program without
taking the lid off. I will make a small hole.
2) Added, diode protection, more filtering and conditioning on the power input. Regulator is bolted down.
3) Added a dedicated connector for Rotary Encoder with pullups and bounce capacitors.
4) Added an I2C connector.
5) I wanted proper Level Shifting to the Si 3V part. Added FETs and pullups for that.
6) Added D0 and D1 pins on PCB.
7) Kept power and VFO connector on 5P header so no changes to my present wiring was necessary.
8) Put contrast Pot where you can get to it.
9) Complete documentation.
10) Fits original LCD perfectly.
Take a look if you are interested.

Mike:
This is a picture of the signal generator we're doing for our next club build. It covers 100Hz-30MHz and uses a touch screen interface. Al Peter designed it and laid out the PCB for it. It compares favorably to units costing several hundred dollars. This one uses the small 3.96" display, but a (more expensive) 5" display can also be used.

I did not see a picture?
Here is a signal generator made with ArduinoX, an
Encoder, and BNC out.
I set it from 100KHz to 30MHz.? 3D printed Knob a
Bezel.
Probably less than $50.

"Next Club Build"? I want to be in your club. All the clubs around me get done is arguing. Looks like another nice project.
Jeff N9ARZ

We are forming a Greater Cincinnati Builders Club and we expect to build perhaps two projects per year and maybe have 4 meetings a year. We're just getting started and nothing set yet. While it's a two hour drive, you're welcome to join us. Al Peter, AC8GY, will be giving a presentation at our August 10th meeting and several other people are attending as he is going to demo the signal generator. Meetings start at 7:30, although most of us are there by 7PM to visit. Details at the club's web site, W8MRC.com.

Hi Mike,
I'm interested in your boards. ?How much for bare pcbs and postage to Australia?

Not sure why the bold font there. Clumsy on my phone.

I suspect he will be
better able to answer that question in a couple of days, the
international mail gods permitting. We are in the midst of an
experimental post of a single board to Australia, using a US
standard international postage stamp with an "extra ounce"
stamp for good measure. Hasn't arrived here yet but I dare say
Mike will announce the results? when he can.

Guys,
A suggestion: it would be swell if we kept all the boards with similar pin out. i already have a few projects that use this raduino pin out. i am planning to rebuild the specan with a tracking generator, the sweeperino and few more projects. it would be nice if this could work with the other boards without having to fiddle around with pin outs.

All:
One of my cohorts in crime is Al Peter, AC8GY, and we both wanted to start a build club for the greater Cincinnati area. Because we expect to use the Arduino MEGA 2560 on some of the projects, he has designed a PCB that uses a full-sized Arduino MEGA rather than the MEGA 2560 Pro Mini that I've been using with the TFT/VFO board. Another advantage is that we can buy the MEGA here in the city for $10, saving us about $5 over the Pro Mini.?
We settled on the MEGA because of the additional memory resources available. What Allard has stuffed into the Raduino's Nano is amazing, considering its 32K, 2K, and 1K of flash, SRAM, and EEPROM plus the demands of the bootloader. The MEGA jumps those numbers to 256K, 8K, and 4K which is why we elected to use it. The board also had a small breadboard area on it for adding various circuits we expect to use. The downside is that the MEGA has a 4"x2" footprint, which is considerably larger than the Nano. Those of you who have my current TFT/VFO board also know that we have brought most of the 54 I/O pins out for "experimenting". (See pix. The sockets on the left are for the AD9850, Type II. We plan to fall back to the Type I on the new board.) The new board will do the same.  Anyway, we are about to order a trial run of the board. I will report on that when it happens. After we're sure everything is correct, we will then likely place a fairly large order for the board. If there is interest, we can increase the order. My guess is that the new board will cost more than the $7.50 (domestic) price I charge for this board, because the standard MEGA forces the size of the PCB to increase. I'll need to talk with Al, but I'm pretty certain he would agree to make the Gerber files available to all, which would lower the cost considerably for our friends outside the US.
I'll keep the group posted as to the testing results.

Not as yet but 3

from the US to Australia.

I have no idea of shipping.? I would have to take
your complete address and the RaduinoX to my local post office.
I have been sneaking bare PCBs to Australia and
France. About $2 for a letter with cardboard around the bare
PCB.
So send me a complete address to MotDog at
Verizon dot Net.
Thanks
