ATMega Microprocessor and the Arduino

Google
The key to having the driver being able to find, track and maintain a perfect resonance lock is the ATMega328 microprocessor. Of course, one can choose another microprocessor. You will need to be able to easily program it. I used the Arduino Duemilanove. This board allowed me to easily interface with my computer and upload code. A USB cable connects from the computer to the board. The DIP chip fits into the socket and that is all. Arduino offers some solutions to mount the chip with all the necessary hardware into your project; I found it very easy to just put in a socket with the minimal connections on my own to get it working.
