The Ardweeny has proven to be a very popular Arduino^tm compatible microcontroller because of it’s tight package and cost-effective performance. But without a breadboard or power supply, it’s not going to see much of the world. Give it an Ardweeny BackPack, which offers:

• Ardweeny Socket (or solder it straight in if you need a robust module)
• BLINKM^tm compatible header, which doubles as a…
• …Servo header!
• TMP36 Temperature Sensor footprint, ready to go!
• Full I/O breakout with solder points (or pluggable headers)
• Dual-orientation 2.1mm Barrel Jack mount (inline or 90°)
• LM2937 Low-dropout 500mA voltage regulator
• Power LED & switch

While this is the plain version, the Ardweeny Backpack also comes in an LED version (available in red, blue or green), where the bottom; has 8 surface-mounted LEDs pre-installed to lines D0 to D7. Ideal for building a POV (persistence of vision) device, or use it as a linear bar graph. The LEDs can be isolated individually (or as a group) with a simple knife cut.

So free your Ardweeny from the breadboard, give it a backpack, and send it on its way!
