Yes. However Arduino just needs a USB cable rather an a JTAG or equivalent programmer, and you can program it in C rather an PIC machine code or whatever. It is much cheaper to use the standalone chips, but when an Arduino Nano is $5 I can't be bothered. > My first exposure to Unix was PDP-11 with 64K words of memory. I was using a PDP for a real-time control task two years ago. It still did the same job as when it was installed in 1982.
