I am new to robotics and am getting ready to build my first robot, yay. I have the opportunity to purchase several of the ATMEGA128-16AI in the 64-pin TQFP package. This seems like a versatile chip, but I do not want to be stuck with a ton of chips I will not use going forward.
My questions are as follows:
1) What would be a reasonable per chip price? 2) What other equipment am I going to need to invest in to use them? 3) Would a pre-made board like the "MAVRIC-IIB - Bare PCB" from BDMicro be the way to go?Thanks, Tim
(I am sure I will have more questions once I actually buy something)
