Atmega-8 based Development Board for Robotics & Embedded
http://ingenuitydias.blogspot.com/2012/06/atmega8-based-development-boadr-for.html
In series of development boards,now i am presenting smallest controller of mega series i.e. Atmega-8.
This controller comes handy in case of small product development or in workshops either on robotics or embedded.This particular board has been developed keeping in mind requirements of Robotics.
