    Tiger and I we're just talking about this board  ---> HERE <--- I think !?!

    When I first mentioned this controller I was informed I was mistaken by saying it had ATMega 328 chip installed. Tiger corrected me by saying it had the ATMega 168

    Now here you are posting the specs saying the board has teh ATMega 328 which is back to what I had originally said ...
    ... Yes I checked it is indeed what the retailer is saying

    What gives is this yet another board, or is just another mistaken identity

    {LOL} Apparently we're looking a three controllers, ATmega48 (I presume the oldest), ATMega 168 and now we have the ATMega 328 ...

    So where's the TYpo, dare I say "typo"  maybe better to say "confusion" ...
    ... Meh is ME, YOU, Tiger, the Retailer or the stray electrons from Rigil Kentaurus either way now I'm curious  [​IMG]

    They list this board as "V3" and the specs say Atmega328.  I guess it is a new board.

    This is a new board.  wOOd's post had the new pic, but linked to the v2 baord (168).  I really don't see the need for the V3 board.  There is no software that even uses the memory capacity of the V2 board.  The only way you could use this new chip is to greatly expand what you are doing with the board (GPS, altimeter, accelerometers, etc.).  The board doesn't really have the I/O to do that.  Anyway, I think if you were interested in this kind of expansion, you'd choose to do it on a far more capable platform.  Where these HK boards shine is in the simple applications.  I don't see myself buying anything beyond the V2 board.
