# Arduino-like MCU Board Example This example shows how to use **BoardForge** to create a small microcontroller board. The board hosts a 28‑pin MCU and breaks out the pins to two headers similar to a traditional Arduino layout. Run the example: ```bash python arduino_like.py ``` Another example shows how to draw a trace with a bend: ```bash python bent_trace.py ``` Gerber files and SVG previews will be written to `output/arduino_like.zip` and the corresponding preview PNG/SVG files. ## MCU Pinout ### Left side (top to bottom) 1.

GND ## Components - **U1** – 28‑pin microcontroller - **J1** – 14‑pin digital I/O header - **J2** – 6‑pin analog header - **J3** – Power header (VIN, VCC, 3V3, GND) - **J4** – 6‑pin programming header The example script connects each MCU pin to the corresponding header pad and adds simple silkscreen labels. Use it as a starting point for your own custom microcontroller boards.
