:Google any of these for more info. I have chosen the ATmega168 as the learning IC of choice. Why?

* 20 MIPs (million instructions per second!) is powerful enough to do some really cool projects
* It's cheap! $2.13 currently
* It's got all the goodies under the hood (UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, internal osc, PWM, kitchen sink, etc)
* 16K of program memory is enough for almost any beginner project
* The tools are free! (C compilers for many of the other micros cost a lot of money)
* The programming and debugging tools are low cost ($20 will get you started)
