I finally am in the process of building my own arduino.
i used the Nanino Design as my base, and just thickened the lines a little bit.
Completed the etching and have started the tedious work of drilling each of the holes. +
Have already sourced the components from my local market.
It has NO USB or On Board Power supply. FTDI must be used to power the board

Cool build, can u mark what goes where in this board? May I get the files u used to create this?
I want to create a very minimalistic arduino board, without clock or reset button. Only pinouts for the GPIOs. Thought your design might help me out.
Can't believe its a home made pcb. Great really Great.
Haha... Thank you for your compliements :) I did have plans to sell just the blank PCB with components separately... But I don't think demands would be high enough to justify making it. Hence I scrapped the idea.
Is that with with USB to UART ?
No... Its got an ftdi connection.. You will need a USB to FTDI converter to program it. Or use ICSP to load firmware.
@YP, Well bro since you have the PCB design you can go for production at some company. Coz its not worth selling hand made pcbs. People ll really go with it in future, particularly when the entire Sky Hobby is termed as Drones in recent days. People will come back to the ground Robots and stuff if the Drone trend gets propagated with the same pace. So you plan for producing around 100-150 PCBs.
There is no point in mass producing now, for an unknown demand in the future.
