# DIY Arduino Chip-Board Controller
Learn to build (tiny) projects with only the ATmega328P chip from your Arduino Uno!
## Introduction
The DIY Arduino Board project is designed for electronics experts, offering a versatile and adaptable microcontroller platform. Originally, the Arduino platform was created to reduce the cost of microcontrollers in educational settings and make electronics and programming accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise. This project provides a DIY Arduino board that closely resembles the classic Arduino Uno but with a slimmer profile and enhanced hardware flexibility.
### Features
- **Adaptability:** The DIY Arduino board allows you to customize the input voltage (ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V) and crystal oscillator frequency (0-16MHz) to match the specific requirements of your projects.
- **Low Power Consumption:** With no built-in LEDs or regulators, this board is exceptionally well-suited for low-power applications, extending battery life and minimizing power overhead.
- **Portability:** The board's wide voltage range enables the use of LiPo batteries as a power source, making it an excellent choice for portable and battery-operated projects.
- **Comprehensive Features:** It offers all the features of the ATmega328P chip, including SPI, I2C, USART, PWM, ADC, interrupts, timers, and more.
## Getting Started
Follow these steps to assemble and use the DIY Arduino board:
### Assembling the DIY Arduino
1. Gather the required components listed in the "Parts used for this setup" section.
2. Assemble the DIY Arduino board using the provided components.
3. Optionally, use an Arduino Uno Rev3 board as a USB to TTL adapter (or any compatible adapter) for programming and communication.
### Uploading Code
1. Connect the DIY Arduino board to your computer through the USB to TTL adapter.
2. Open the Arduino IDE and select "Arduino/Genuino Uno" as the board and the Uno Rev3 as the port.
3. Upload your code to the DIY Arduino board, following the standard Arduino Uno procedure.
## Usage and Applications
The DIY Arduino board's adaptability and low power consumption make it ideal for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:
- **Internet of Things (IoT) Networks:** Build low-power IoT devices that can operate for extended periods.
- **Portable Sensors:** Create battery-operated sensors for data collection in remote or mobile applications.
- **Wireless Device Controllers:** Design custom wireless controllers for various devices and systems.
