GfxHax now carries the Diavolino boards (aka. little devil kits) from Evil Mad Science. These are small, cost-effective Arduino clones. GfxHax offers a power kit for the Diavolino boards, specifically designed for optimal performance with the Drink Shields. If you’d like, you can add a DC Jack kit with an enhanced voltage regulator and a 4xAAA battery pack to provide 6 volts to the kit. The battery pack fits perfectly under the Diavolino boards. If you want to make the DrinkShield portable without breaking the bank, this the the way to go.

Hey, I have a bunch of questions about your drink shield kit.
1. Can I use this on a pc?
2. I wanted to know the actual circuit diagram or schematic
3. I have a HC12 Dragon Board can that be used with the drink shield device?
1. Can I use this on a pc?
A. Yes you can attach this to a PC using an FTDI cable or an FTDI breakout board.
2. I wanted to know the actual circuit diagram or schematic
A. Diavolino schematics are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oskay/4727511688/

If you were referring to the DrinkShield then the eagle files are in the SVN repo here: drinkshield.googlecode.com
3. I have a HC12 Dragon Board can that be used with the drink shield device?
A. The drinkshield was really just meant to be used with an Arduino (or Diavolino). You can use the code on an atmel chip and the shield itself only needs 4 pins (1 analog and 3 for the shift registers).
