Resonators function like crystals but stick closer to their specified frequency over a full temperature range. These resonators are +/-0.5% or better from -20C-+80C. These resonators have built-in load capacitors so no external caps are needed.
The A-Star 328PB Micro is a tiny programmable module featuring the ATmega328PB AVR microcontroller, a backward-compatible replacement for the popular ATmega328P that features more general-purpose I/O and many additional peripherals.
This is a very common 0.1uF capacitor. Used on all sorts of applications to decouple ICs from power supplies. 0.1" spaced leads make this a perfect candidate for breadboarding and perf boarding. Rated at 50V.
This is a very common 22pF capacitor. Used with crystals for loading purposes. 0.1" spaced leads make this a perfect candidate for breadboarding and perf boarding. Rated at 200V.
Atmel’s itty-bitty ATtiny85 8-Bit Processor. 8K of program space, 6 I/O lines, and 4-channel 10 bit ADC. Runs up to 20MHz with external crystal. Package can be programmed in circuit.
Atmel’s ATMega328P 8-Bit Processor in 28 pin DIP package. It’s like the ATmega168, with double the flash space. 32K of program space. 23 I/O lines, 6 of which are channels for the 10-bit ADC. Runs up to 20MHz with external crystal. Package can be programmed in circuit. 1.8V to 5V operating voltage!
This is a set of ceramic capacitors. Very handy for experiments and breadboard projects. This pack comes with 22 sets of capacitors with various capacitance and working voltage of 63V...
