Hello,
I just finished up my degree in computer engineering, and as a present to myself I decided to set up my home with an electronics workbench. For a while now I have been accumulating parts and passive components, but other than the PIC microprocessors I used to get from school I have no micro-controllers. Anyways looking on mouser and digi-key makes my broken "right out of college student" wallet hurt.
Well that is if I neglect micro-controllers that have any type of hardware interfacing such as I2C and SPI than I can get away with (25) PIC16F54 's @ a decent 54 cents a piece. The problem is that I would like to keep my building simple and have these features included in the micro controller.
One such MCU I found was this
http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...=sGAEpiMZZMvfhsTlJjecMEndkK9gweuL35awyVEGe3U=
I guess it is just a little pain that I have all of these LM7805 regulators, and this processor runs at a mere 1.8v - 3.6V
So in short if anyone knows of an MCU that runs at 5V, is a through-hole DIP package, and supports I2C and SPI I would be so grateful if you pointed it out to me. Oh and also keep the price down per unit. I think $1-2 should be good. I am not going to break the bank getting Atmel
