00:00Intro, product on screen. Same 8 kilobytes of flash, same 1 kilobyte of RAM, and people still
00:06argue about which one to buy. I dug through the listings so you don't have to these are the best
00:11deals right now for Atmega 8 vs Atmega 88 microcontrollers, and honestly, every Arduino
00:17builder needs one of these in the drawer. Product 1 to 10-pack Atmega 8AAU TQFP32.
00:24First up, this 10-pack of Atmega 8AAU chips, TQFP32 surface mount, and you're talking about 85 cents
00:31each. The revision is the one you actually want, the modern spin with a beefier ADC and stronger pin
00:37drivers than the original Atmega 8. 8 kilobytes of flash, 1 kilobyte of RAM, 512 bytes of EEPROM,
00:45and 10 of them, so when you fry the fourth while setting fuses, you don't cry. Best buy for anyone
00:50spinning their own boards or stuffing UNO-style SMT clones. Product 2, 2X Atmega 8L8 DIP28.
00:59These are the DIP28 Atmega 8L8S, 2 for $1.75, under a bucket chip. The L is the part people
01:06miss,
01:07low voltage, 2.7 to 5.5 volts, so your 3.3V regulator or coin cell can actually run it,
01:13and the minus 8 is the 8 MHz grade. Through hole, so it drops straight into breadboard or perfboard.
01:20New chip ship configured for the 1 MHz internal RC, so burn the bootloader once and you're good.
01:27Perfect for battery builds and low-power sensor nodes. Every link for these 5 sits in the description.
01:34If this saved you money on your next build, hit like and subscribe and drop a comment,
01:38are you running the 8 or the 88? I'll bench both.
