PanelDuino-2x8 - Mini Arduino Smart Display

[emrelabs]

Hi everyone,

I just release new Arduino Board. It is an open source project. Suitable for small monitoring and control application.

Hardware: https://github.com/emrelabs/Emrelabs-PanelDuino-2x8-Hardware
Software :  https://github.com/emrelabs/Emrelabs-PanelDuino-2x8


Board Specification
-Open Source Hardware
-Provided Arduino Library and example
-Embedded Arduino Pro Mini Board (5V – 16MHz)
-Embedded CH340G USB-Serial converter (USB Connector)
-2×8 Character LCD (on I2C bus)
-5 pcs user button (on I2C bus)
-LCD and all buttons use only 2 pcs pin (I2C pins)
-1 pcs user Led (D13)
-1 pcs power indicator led
-Optional external power input: 8 – 18Volt
-ICSP port
-Panel mount design
-4 pcs screw holes for easy installation
-Compact design (Dimensions: 90mm x 45mm)

Details
A4 and A5 pins are used as I2C (for LCD and buttons). This pins only used as I2C. Also 0x20-0x21 addresses reserved.  (Buttons: 0x20 – LCD:0x21)

Pictures attached.

I hope you like it 
Thank you.

I like it!
I like OSH, choice of CPU, CH340G and use of i2c to save pins and pin headers for connecting peripherals.

I was searching for Arduino with integrated display and input for a while.
The following would make such a product impossible to resist for me:

- bit display, say 1.3" 128x64 OLED.  To be used mostly for text (328 not suitable for graphics) but offers flexibility in choosing font size.
- compact but feature-rich  keyboard.  I am impartial to joystick with two extra buttons on a side.  Here is my shot at it:

I have a box of those tiny 8x2 LCDs they are very cheap but also very small!  2x16, 4x16 or 4x20 would make it far more flexible as would offering it with a socket for the LCD to be attached.
