Arduino Nano or ATTiny 85 Prototype Board


The Proto Arduino is a general-purpose prototyping platform. It is compatible with the Arduino Nano v3 or Digispark
style ATTiny 85 processors boards. On-board features include a regulated power supply. Dedicated mounting
provided for either an Arduino Nano or ATTiny 85 processor board. The prototyping surface offers over 850 plated-
through holes. Mounting for eight LEDs along with dropping resistors is also provided.

The Proto Arduino is a high-quality prototype board with solder masks on both sides of the board. Plated holes
along with a high-contrast silk-screen labeling component positions. Board size is 3 3/4” x 5” (95mm x 127mm)
ready to fit into standard size project cases.

On-board Power Supply
Both the ATTiny 85 and the Nano processors support a
regulated 5v DC power input. They also offer the ability for
a power input with a 7 to 12v DC power source.

5v DC can be applied to the “5V In” connections on the


board. 7 to 12v DC is applied to the board at either the
power jack or to the “7-12v” power input port.

When 7-12v power is used, the regulators on the


processor boards will regulate the power. It should be
noted that that on-board regulators are for lower current
operation.

The Proto Arduino board also has an on-board regulator


and power filtering circuit. When this is used, the board will
provide regulated 5v to both processor sockets.

On-board Power Indicator


An LED for power indicating is included on the board.
Resistor R9 limits current flow through the LED. Although
a handy option, the LED draws approximately 20mA of
current. The LED will illuminate when 5v power is available
