LPC810 Breakout Board

This basic Arm Cortex-M0+ NXP LPC810 breakout board features a FTDI programming header, USB (mini-B) connector for power only, a LM117-3.3v voltage regulator, power LED, ISP and Reset buttons and a standard 2×5-pin 0.05″ SWD debug connector. All pins are brought out to the edge of the board. Three PCBs from OSHPark.com cost me $6.55 USD delivered via the USPS. Eagle board package and BOM can be downloaded below.
