Hi Joep, It does. I have the arduino with an atmega168 and ran out of pins > before my project was completed. I'd go for a 40 pin chip or larger > (smd gives you more pins at the small form factor, which is nice. But > it is less easy to build and repair).

I just want to build a board everyone could build, and could experiment with it. A common hardware. This is great tool IMO for beginners (and I'm pretty sure this is why Arduino also rocks: people can just plug it, program it, and observe the results -- and we can do this without hiding anything --, they just have to focus on the code, without having to deal with hardware troubles). And this is also a nice tool for advanced users. A common hardware, a common base to build over.
