This low cost 28 PIN AVR development board is ideal for getting started with AVR microcontroller on a tight budget. It can also serve as neat and clean base for many small projects because bread boards and proto PCBs soon become messy and less reliable.

Features:

1. Compatible with 28 pin chips like ATmega8,ATmega48,ATmega168, ATmega328 etc.
2. Atmel AVR ATmega8 28 PIN microcontroller Included.
3. 16 MHz crystal for maximum speed.
4. All ports available on standard 0.1inch (2.54mm) male headers.
5. LC Filter on AVcc for clean ADC performance.
6. Decoupling capacitors on all power pins.
7. Standard ISP Header (Can be programmed with our USB AVR Programmer v2.0).
8. On/Off switch.
9. 9-18V DC input.
10. 5v regulated output for supplying extra peripherals.(3x).
11. Reset Button.
12. Power Indicator LED.
13. Free Prototyping area for customization(78 holes at 0.1 inch distance)
14. FR4 PCB with solder mask and silkscreen.
15. All PCB Pads tinned.
