Seeeduino Film, maybe the first Arduino(TM) compatible board on FPC
It’s an interesting and hard process to discover the different ways of boards.
We tried to design an Arduino(TM) compatible board fits to smallest apertures. The goal is extremely small, slim, flexible while maintaining its nature of developing board.
Features:
Cut-able, Scrollable and Chain-able
Full functional Atmega168/328 breakout
USB-Serial interface
Built-in charger circuit
Default a complete Arduino compatible board, could be cut to fit needs
20pin bus passed across all blocks
Pros found:
light, slim, small, flexible as planned
Cons found:
Fragile
Too slim to fit in the connectors
Might still be too much overhead
Next steps
It is far from mature, we will prepare a few prototypes for community inspiration. Please let us know how you might use them and the key factors you would care, we will select the comments and ship them in one week frame. Thanks!

I’d use it for fitting the arduinoboy mod to a nintendo gameboy. (turning it into a midi synthesizer). Would save SO much space for the rest of my modwork!
好 Xadow is right for you if you are seeking a balance between size and function
Hi
Can you please tell me if you can plan to sell FPC material?
Thanks
We might not be able to sell the FPC materials for now, but will check it out. Thanks!
Hello Seeed Studio’s people.
This card is really incredible, just like you specify it, week after week I get a surprise of you, even I remember than in a blog to a person indicating if it was possible to make a Seeeduino flexible, that seemed an impossible thing but I was forgotten the existence of this material, I am greatly surprised, because I worked long time in welding of little components, and to weld pieces to the flexible it’s very complicated, for that reason, you can make it!!!.
Respect of Where would it be used?, That doesnt have limit, at present I’m working with Wireless Sensor Network for my postgraduate thesis, and the applications only have limit in the mind, applications go from environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring, applications in the domotica, applications in health, at present in my group of study we are dedicated to application of WSN in industrial environments, in this type of environments we can use this type of Seeeduino Film due to its reduced size, besides maybe you have to consider a connector for a wireless device essentially ( in case WSN ), which would make it more powerful, already than in addition to processing capability the Seeeduino Film have also the capacity of communication in mode wirless, just like a Seeeduino Stalker.
A lot of congratulations for the unceasing invention that you propose.
Sergio Quiroga.

Since it’s a long time we decided to stop Film series, we are now developing with Xadow, which is modular designed and based on standard interface to get extra ability.
It’s small and solid, but no more flexible.
