Overview
Atmel AVR microcontrollers are a major player in hobby electronics.
They are great for prototyping because:
- They come in many DIP, breadboardable form factors
- They are relatively cheap.
- There is an extensive online community built around them.
AVR families
All AVR chips can be divided into 4 main groups. Only 2 are available in DIP formats.
ATtiny
Tiny's are the low-cost branch of the AVR family.
ATmega
Mega's are the most popular AVR family with hobbyists. Most Arduino model are powered with an ATmega.
xMEGA
The xMEGA is somewhat newer family that has not yet made a huge impact in the hobbyist embedded electronics world.
AVR32
