Mechanical Arcade Game with Barebones Arduino -- Episode 439

Clem reads all your comments on element14.com. A lot of people want to save money by shrinking their Arduino projects down to the bare microcontroller! So Clem builds a mechanical arcade style game by prototyping it on a classic Arduino Uno and migrating it to a standalone ATmega328P with internal 8Mhz clock, to show you the absolute minimum configuration needed to get your project running on custom hardware!
