Additional Resources and Documentation:

• Assembly Instructions for Playful Puppy
  Please note: the Instructions include explanation about the Assembly and Programming of the Magician Arduino Controller. The Magician version included with this kit has superior specifications compared to the one mentioned in the Manual.
  Therefore where you read ATMEGA8 you should read ATMEGA328 and on the Arduino board Selection (page 19), where you read "Arduino NG or older w/ ATMEGA8" you should read "Arduino Duemilanove or nano w/ ATMEGA328"
