The Cuttle

by Boldport

The Cuttle is a bare-bones, Arduino-compatible, soldering kit from Boldport, based on the concept of shrimping.it. 

The Cuttle was first designed by Boldport as commissioned work for Embecosm, who made it open source hardware.

The microcontroller comes with an Arduino bootloader on it, but you'll need a serial programmer to load Arduino sketches to it. The programming header holes are staggered so that it can be removed after programming. Once assembled, the board fits on a breadboard for easy prototyping.

Note: requires through-hole soldering!

Good way to get into Arduino. Simple to build with components painted onto the silk screen.

I couldn't be happier with the Cuttle Arduino-compatible kit. The kit was delivered to the US in just over a week, arrived in perfect condition, and assembled very quickly and easily. A quick plug-in to my FTDI cable and the Cuttle was up and running my project in no time. I did add an IC pinout sticker (available from Adafruit) atop the ATmega 328 chip utilizing the familiar pinout names as used on the Arduino. I'd rate this item 5 of 5 stars for high quality components, easy assembly and sheer cuteness. Thanks Pimoroni!
