Title: how to Augment a microcontroller?
Post by: hassanjaved on April 08, 2006, 10:14:38 AM
Hi I need some help about nonaugmented microcontroller.The problem is I cannot buy a microcontroller package because that I live in Pakistan where there are no specific hobby stores and it is very difficult to find one. PLEASE mention links where I can get a tutorial on HOW TO AUGMENT A MICROCONTROLLER? or HOW TO BUILD A MICROCONTROLLER?

I need your help Admin. ???

If you tired to make a microcontroller yourself, it would be huge. Anyway, your best bet would be to try eBay (http://www.ebay.com). A lot of people there are willing to ship worldwide, and the prices usually aren't that bad. For example, look at this listing (http://cgi.ebay.com/Atmel-AVR-Atmega128-16AU-Microcontroller-Qty-3-Parts_W0QQitemZ7607074960QQcategoryZ50915QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).

Of course, this does have its share of problems. 1st, theres always the chance that the microcontrollers won't work. 2nd, if you don't have a credit/debit card, your pretty much out of luck.

go to the main forum
then go to a subforum ( like Robot Videos or Misc)
Then click the New Topic button , which is on the right side , and across from the advertisements on the side
