The standard bootloader needs a resonator or crystal to run the oscillator. You can also program a bootloader which uses the internal oscillator in the Arduino IDE, in that case no resonator or crystal is used, like I did with the attiny.

Typically I start with parts that are much used in Arduino projects. Then I move to Digikey, etc and look for good pricing AND plenty of stock and multiple vendors. This helps avoiding component related delays.

Thanks for the nice comment. To answer your question: 1) Yes, they do. But by measuring the moisture in the soil, you will get an alarm when a certain amount of water is extracted from the soil, being caused by heat, sun or a thirsty plant.

Thanks for your reply. The resonator is shown in the 'Eagle schematic', right in the middle of the picture. The first schematic is just for the moisture sensor. I used it as a crystal to run the ATMEGA. When the battery is gone, y

You are absolutely right: Once you get the uC power consumption down with sleeping, others components use the majority of the power and determine battery life for the most part.

Totally agree with the formfactor thing: Just love that you can LEGO stuff together. But even as a MsC in EE, I love that I can do this and then create a real thing from it with breadboarding, proto pcb or a custom designed PCB. The other t

Thanks for the comment about grammer: Fixed that now (I think). This post is meant for non EE people, to explain how to use the ATMEGA for a lower price.

Actually it might be good to focus on what you do best (up to a point): If your a good coder, make an awesome product. If you are an awesome marketeer, use marketing to your advantage. I think that the problem lies in busywork instead of cr

I guess a good idea might be to ask at a local succsefull bookstore (NYC in your case): Just walk in and tell you have a bookstore in Boston and ask how it's gooing and what worked best for them? Other idea is to ask at a book(store) forum.

Agree with hiring well is hard, but not with why it is hard. I think there is way too much focus on hiring rockstars: Some of the beste people I worked with, were people I initially wasn't working well with and vice versa. You do need good
