Awesome BlueberryDe.com Arduino Shields

Help fund volume production of BlueberryDe.com Awesome Arduino Prototyping and project Shields!

Technology – Gold Coast, Australia
20130106002733-project

Short Summary

My name is Joshua David. I am an Electronics Design Engineer working on various Consumer products down under in Australia.

I started my personal site www.BlueberryDe.com to give an outlet for creative/cool and useful design products for prototyping, arts and other interesting design stuff! 

My site currently offers a small selection of awesome Arduino Shields, encorporating quality design and components. I am hoping to expand this range very soon!

What We Need & What You Get

In order to make these awesome Arduino Shields faster and free up more time for developing more awesome prototype / creative products I need to make larger volume batches using a Pick and Place Machine!

I have access to a quality Pick and Place line for production but no volume parts, feeders, panel circuit boards or stencils :( I currently make everything from small orders of parts by hand and bake in a small prototyping Reflow Oven!

Where will the money go?

In order to use a Pick and Place Machine and produce some volume I will need to obtain:

  • Large Volume parts on Reels
  • Panelised Circuit Boards at volume
  • Solder Stencil for each Circuit Board Panel
  • Character LCD's, buttons and other parts at volume
  • Additional Feeders to hold the Reels
  • Materials like Solder Paste, etc.

(UPDATE) The Machine waiting its parts :)

Pending the success of this project, this is the machine waiting for the parts and boards :)

What you get

Depending on your pledge/funding amount you will receive some (or all) of our awesome Arduino Shield products! 

- UPDATE - I've just price dropped the PERKS! It ended up a little muddled up with the old priced PERKS still there :| Also added a new Perk for ANY 2 Shields :).

24Ch Analog Expander Shield24 Channel Analog Expander Shield

The Arduino 24Channel Analog Expander Shield is a nifty little shield that enhances the dismal 6 available Analog inputs of the Arduino Uno out to an amazing 24Channels!  All while only using 3 Pins!

Uses Pins A3, A4 and A5 only! Library available here

BlueberryDe_Mux

48Ch Shift Register Arduino Shield48 Channel Shift Register Expander Arduino Shield

48 Channel Shift Register Expander Arduino Shield! utilising 6 x 74HC595 8-Bit Shift Registers! Make awesome projects!

Uses Pins D2(Data), D3(Clock), and D4(Latch). Uses the SHIFTER Library available here
SHIFTER

i2C LCD Arduino Shieldi2C LCD + Keypad Shield for Arduino

The i2C LCD + Keypad Shield for Arduino is a nifty little Shield! using only 3 pins on the Arduino to provide a 16×2 LCD and a small 4 button keypad with left, right, up, down and select.

Uses Pins A3(button(s) value), A4 and A5(i2C).

Will privide Library and Example code soon.

The Impact

The BlueberryDe.com Shields are predominantly developed for creative purposes. Enabling users of the Arduino Platform the ability to expand the functionality of the existing platform greatly. I try to develop shields that are very useful with huge benefit to the electronics and creative community

The Future

The future of BlueberryDe.com and its Shields and other projects/products is very exciting! I have many different ideas and lots already in prototype, however manufacturing by hand constrains time and slows down development. With the help of this project we will be able to bring to you our customers some AWESOME new shields and just cool creative design ideas and products in the near future!

Other Ways You Can Help

Can't Contribute? Thats ok! If you would like to back BlueberryDe.com development and production you can still do so by getting the word out!

  • Use the Indiegogo share tools to help make sharing this project easier!

And that’s all there is to it.
