This is an UNOFFICIAL AVR community.

This is a community for people who use AVR microcontrollers. This can include Arduinos, Arduino clones, Arduino like boards, and stand alone AVR chips and self-designed boards.

NOTE: If your circuit is doing something weird when you touch a wire or move your hand across it see this pinned post.

This is a community for everyone who is interested in AVRs and Arduinos from beginners to experts, kids to adults, hobbyists to engineers.

RULES:

  1. All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.

  2. Everyone (see rule 98) is welcome.

  3. If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.

[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]

  1. If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.

  2. Don’t be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule.

  3. The mod(s) have the final say.

This seems really important to you. It isn't to me.

I am not going to go back to buying DIP packages of chips. These little adapter boards costs pennies, are easy to solder, and let me use the exact chip that I'm going to use in the production boards on my breadboards. I'm going to keep doing that.

You're free to use DIP chips if that's what you want to do.

I'm trying to make it clear to people who might be intimidated by modern SMD chips that there are options that will let them use chips that they could otherwise not use, like the ATMEGA328PB or LGT8F328P which only come in TQFP of the ATTINY 1612 which only comes in SOIC-14, while still using their breadboards and Dupont wires.

There is no right option, only the options that's right for me, and the option that's right for you.
