Mini ATmega Board

For ATmega16 and ATmega32

Published in issue 354, May 2006

Mini ATmega Board
It’s about time, you might say! After all, even if the ATmega microcontroller isn’t necessarily mega, it’s still quite popular and we feel it hasn’t really received the attention it deserves in Elektor Electronics. The Mini ATmega Board described in this article puts a change to that, and a nice application for it — our Standalone OBD2 Analyser— is featured in an accompanying article.
