Building Your Own AVR / Arduino Internet of Things (IoT) Development Board Part 5

Welcome to the final installment of building your own AVR / Arduino compatible internet of things (IoT) development board. In part 5 we open up our new PCBs and build them up. We then do some testing to make sure everything is working correctly. Spoiler alert, this video has a happy ending with a working Arduino compatible board with Bluetooth 4.0 built-in. Below you will find a link to the Eagle files and the Arduino code for the test sketch.
