Using Atmega8 or Atmega328p directly without using Arduino boards

Using Atmega8 or Atmega328p directly without using Arduino boards

Atmega8 or Atmega328p can be used directly on boards without using the whole Arduino hardware.

All is needed are

  1. Atmega8 or Atmega328p IC
  2. 16 Mhz crystal
  3. Two 22pf capacitor

The advantage is lesser hardware and footprint in actual projects.
