• stripboard
• perfboard
• custom PCBs
• cardboard!
• hotmelt and sticky tape!

Parts

• ATMega368
  • IC pin labelling with a paper shroud (make PDF).
• crystals/resonators
• reset switch if desired
• power
  • regulation (if necessary)
  • driving from PC USB/solar device/chargers
• caps

Comms

• Programming your micro.
  • bootloaders
• programming/comms cables and modules
