15-Dec-08 Sparkfun's Arduino Pro - 3.3V/8MHz This is a 3.3V Arduino running the 8MHz bootloader (select 'LilyPad' within the Arduino software). The Arduino Pro is very much like the Skinny, but we added a handful of features to become a fully certified Arduino board. The power switch was moved to the side of the board (good idea Limor!) to allow control when a shield is attached. The FTDI Basic Breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned Arduino boards. It can also be used for general serial applications. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded.

Dontronics officially launched new shopping cart one month ago, earlier than expected due to having to change hosts for our domain. Our previous host was becoming very unreliable and this forced us to move. The new Shopping Cart was not quite ready with minor changes needing to be made. Since we have been "live" we have found some more instances which have been attended to. Please feel free to let us know if there are any invalid links etc. or if you just want to let us know what you think.
