Nano PCB Custom MCU Design
Design & Solder Your Own Custom ATmega328P Nano-Sized Board — Complete PCB Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Move beyond generic Arduino boards and create a compact, custom microcontroller board tailored to your embedded project. This kit equips you to design the schematic, lay out a nano-sized PCB, hand-solder all components, and program the ATmega328P via ICSP, giving you full control over every aspect of the hardware.
What You'll Build
A fully functional, standalone ATmega328P breakout board on a custom-designed PCB, no larger than a coin. This board becomes the heart of your wearable sensor node, mini robot controller, or any space-constrained embedded system — a career-ready skill that sets your portfolio apart.
What You'll Learn
- Schematic design for a complete microcontroller circuit, from power regulation to crystal oscillator
- PCB layout and trace routing for miniaturized, two-layer boards
- Through-hole soldering techniques for reliable component placement
- ISP programming, bootloader burning, and debugging with a USB-UART bridge

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for B.Tech ECE/EEE students crafting a mini-project or final-year prototype, participants in Smart India Hackathon building space-constrained embedded solutions, and learners from IIT, NIT, VIT, BITS who want to move from ready-made development boards to designing their own hardware from scratch. If you’re ready to own every component on your board, this kit is your launchpad.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to instantly access the AI build companion, pre-loaded with the exact schematic and solder steps for your kit. If you still need help, our WhatsApp support line is answered by Compoden engineers within 2 hours.
Do I need prior PCB design experience?
No prior PCB experience is required, but you should be comfortable with basic electronics and soldering. The AI companion guides you through schematic capture, component placement, and routing tips specific to this nano board layout.
Can I program the board using Arduino IDE?
Yes. The included USB-UART bridge enables serial programming, and the ICSP header lets you burn the Arduino bootloader using an external ISP programmer (not included) so the board appears as a standard Arduino Nano in the IDE.
What if I damage a trace on the prototype board or a component?
The kit includes four PCB prototype boards and extra passives, so you have backup. For critical semiconductors, if a part fails due to a manufacturing defect, we replace it free within 7 days.
