These 8-bit microcontrollers can run at 5 volts and have several compelling features. While no &quot;official&quot; Arduino board exists based on these chips, an open-source p...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/workbenchwednesdays/b/blog/posts/7-reasons-why-i-like-the-atmega128dx-mcusTue, 09 Sep 2025 09:48:22 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:76792a0c-2819-4b4a-bd7b-4dad2d0c4c65bit.arnab0<p>These newer AVRs are way better than classic AVRs. They have multiple UARTs, I2C etc. and library of one peripheral can be used on other chips as well. Code portability is great. I design my projects on these only. The newer tinAVRs like t807 or t817 etc are absolutely great. The entire ecosystem is being built like you code for one and port the code for other IC just based on your requirement. I wrote a uart lib for m807 and that worked seamlessly with t807 as well</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=11511&AppID=222&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/workbenchwednesdays/b/blog/posts/7-reasons-why-i-like-the-atmega128dx-mcusThu, 17 Jun 2021 18:35:32 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:76792a0c-2819-4b4a-bd7b-4dad2d0c4c65DAB0<p>I can see why you like these chips.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DAB</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=11511&AppID=222&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
