MAKE: Blog: Barebones Arduino on a breadboard

Barebones Arduino on a breadboard

Here is a truly barebones Arduino setup. Just the Arduino chip and a few support parts. This has to be close to the simplest and lowest cost way to play with microcontrollers. The only special parts are the resonator and the Mega168 programmed with the Arduino boot loader. Everything else you should already have as an electronics hobbyist.

The UK sourced PICAXE range is even simpler AND cheaper, as well as being dead easy to program,yet extremely versatile. Check => http://www.picaxe.orcon.net.nz

I'm really starting to hate the "arduino" name, almost as much as "basic stamp".

Just call it what it is, not what its running.

Link fixed. It was supposed to point to DIY:happy, not EMS Labs.
