no you're not! the whole purpose of the exercise is to bring people like you a huge "component" around which boards exactly like the one you designed can be made up.
I've got a lifetime total of maybe an hour of futzing with microcontrollers -- and I'm being generous there! 90% of what I know how to make is discrete logic or transistors-only or relay crap.
ah. what are you like at op-amps? do you know anything about the LM13700 (absolutely fascinating chip with an amazing history) i need to use it as a microphone amplifier with voltage-controlled volume.
Seriously. I'm the sort of electronics hobbyist that has to look up circuits on the 'Net and then tweak them or combine them to get what I want.
uhhh... chris? i'm not sure i should tell you this but that's exactly how i put the schematics together for the flying squirrel :)
The schematics that you say are "awesome" are a combination of six parts Wikipedia, five parts general Internet (with tweaking), one part pinouts[dot]ru, one part from a Forrest Mims book, three parts sheer unadulterated guesswork, and two parts straight off the EOMA-68 wiki page. I can't say myself if it's awesome or not, but to me it looks like a total kludge :P
*cackle*.
If you can link me to the Olimex schematic,
https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=40&q=a10s+olimex+schematics+pdf
try that - you want the "micro"
