ATMega8 Educational Board

Great new ATMega Board, our just released ATMega8 Educational Board is an ideal way to learn and build ATMega8 applications. This board is based around the exciting new Atmel ATMega8 microcontroller, which is a compact high performance microcontroller, loaded with features. Quickly learn how to program led's, use pushbuttons for input, display characters on an LCD, use the A/D Convertor, all these features are ready to run on the board, with all the necessary support components included for the microcontroller.

Included on the board is 8 pre-wired LED's for quick testing, a series of pushbuttons, facility for a real-time clock and eeprom, LCD Socket and heaps more. All port pins are wired to easy to connect 10 pin headers. Programs can be easily downloaded directly onto the board, using our included parallel port connector and easy to use download software.

This board is also ideal to develop and test your applications, as well as being the base for a more complex project with a large development area available which can be used for a wide range of additional components. This cost effective solution is ideal for developing embedded controllers for water control systems, home control, industrial control, mini robots and much more.

Our ATMega8 Educational board is ideal for use in school's, colleges or universities, as a teaching and practical program development board. The board is also ideal for home use, to quickly learn and test many different circuits and applications.
