ATmega

An ATmega is a type of microcontroller, a compact computer chip that can be programmed to perform specific tasks. Think of it as the brain of small electronic devices like robots, appliances, or gadgets. It processes inputs (like buttons or sensors), makes decisions, and controls outputs (like motors or screens). The ATmega is known for its reliability, versatility, and low power consumption, making it popular among hobbyists and engineers for creating custom electronic projects and embedded systems. It operates on tiny amounts of electricity and can be programmed using common coding languages to carry out various functions efficiently.
