Got into work this morning after two weeks sunning myself in Menorca to find my boards have arrived!

I’ll have to make a start at populating them tonight, see if i can’t get it flashing some lights or something for UKMM 08!

I’ve just sent off the board design for R2, 5 boards should arrive in a couple of weeks!

Hopefully i’ll be able to get the regulator all the LEDs and the processor working for the end of June, so i have something to show off at UKMM 2008!

Here are some renders i’ve exported from Gerbv Gerber Viewer, looking good!

Its time to move on to a new micromouse, and I have decided all details of my new mouse (Hardware & Software) will be released under Free / Open Licenses.

The Hardware is under the TAPR Open Hardware License, with the email address r2@thinkl33t.co.uk

The Software is under the GNU General Public License

In addition to the above Licenses, I ask that if you make your own R2, or use a modification of R2’s subsystems in your own micromouse,  you publish a webpage on your creation!  I can provide hosting for single pages or pdf files, or a blog service such as Blogger or WordPress can be used to keep a full log of the project. Email me the link to your page, and I’ll link it from the main project page.
