This is my first complete DIY Arduino project. Is nothing more than an Arduino clone with complete functionalities.

Introduction

In realizing it I followed the instructions on Corey Kingsbury's website, which is very detailed and explainatory.

However, altough almost all the process is quite straightforward and relatively quick, I had some problems I reported to the original author of the project.
In his page he states that in order to make the crystal work, two 0.1uF Ceramic Capacitor are required. After some struggling and frustrations, it comes out that (at least in my case) the correct capacity is 22pF.
In addition I make a slight modification to his scheme to use a single 16Mhz resonator instead of the crystal-capacitors combo, which is quite equivalent (just a bit less precise). Pictures of the board follow...
