Title: beginner question (50$ robo)
Post by: nortron on June 20, 2010, 05:47:20 PM

hey guys, ordering my parts for 50$ robo and wasnt sure.  I looked at digikey and they had a back order, went to mouser and wasnt confident about picking the right ATmega8 AVR (there were to many options) ?  I also need a charger for the 6v 1400mAh NiMH Battery right?

You'll need a charger to well, charge.

For the ATmega8 choose this one

Or from mouser

Go for the upgrade to the 168 if they have those in stock?
If not, try sparkfun or some other supplier.
