[TriEmbed] ATMEGA 1284p "Mighty Mini"

[Alex Davis]

Martin,

there's nothing on-board which should cause an issue with power-saving.
There is no FTDI chip, a only 5-pin header to attach to an external
USB-to-serial adapter. Some people might prefer an 8 MHz crystal vs. 16
MHz, but you can always set the fuse bits to use the internal RC
oscillator and get 8 MHz. There's an amber LED on the SCK line with a 1K
resistor to ground. That would only matter if you left it high and went
to sleep. You can easily remove it with a soldering iron if you want.

I will be bringing my board to the next meeting. It's a cool board - my
thanks to Jack Christensen for sharing it on OSHPark. I can talk about
the aspect of soldering the SMT parts. It's actually much easier than
through-hole once you do a few.

Does it have anything on it that would interfere with Low power modes?

Sound like no regulator what about  other chips?

I would love a bare bones board that supported more RAM and Program but
could be put to sleep.
