This is a fully func­tional ver­sion of the Arduino. We elim­i­nated the PCB and use paper and card­board as sup­port and the result is.. the PAPER­duino :D

This is the the first ver­sion of the lay­out design, next we will try more designs, and other mate­ri­als. You just need to print the top and the bot­tom lay­outs, and glue them to any kind of sup­port you want. We hope that you start mak­ing your own boards. If you do, please share your pho­tos with us, we would love to see them ;)

There is no USB direct con­nec­tion, so to pro­gram the paper­duino you will need some kind of FTDI cable or adapter. One of this prod­ucts will be fine:
FTDI cable from Adafruit Indus­tries
FTDI adapter from Sparkfun

Com­po­nents list:
1 x 7805 Volt­age reg­u­la­tor
2 x LEDs (dif­fer­ent col­ors)
2 x 560 Ohm resis­tors (between 220oHm and 1K)
1 x 10k Ohm resis­tor
2 x 100 uF capac­i­tors
1x 16 MHz clock crys­tal
2 x 22 pF capac­i­tors
1 x 0.01 uF capac­i­tor
1 x but­ton

1 x socket 28 pin
Female and Male headers

Instruc­tions:
Use a nee­dle to punc­ture the holes for your components.

Don’t rush, place one com­po­nent after another and do all the sol­der work carefully.

Fol­low the con­nec­tion lines.

And this should be the final look of your paper­duino connections.
