Arduino to standalone?

Ok I was searching for some questions on servos and came upon this thread. http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1258665998

What he asks is.. basically..

You prototype with the arduino and once you have what you want you remove the Atmega chip and use it as a standalone.

For example (for some reason...) You wanted a stand alone system that when you pushed a button a series of LEDS flash.

So you program it into the arduino, get it to work out. Then remove the ATmega chip which ever one you have.
Snap it into a blank PCB wire it up and viola it works; standalone.
Does this work?

If so what pins on the Atmega328 are Analog, Digital, 5v, and GND?

You will need a few external components. This tutorial...

...has helped me to understand how to turn a project "stand-alone".

I've saved some other links that may help...

Thank you! :smiley:

Sorry I forgot to address the second question.

The best source of that information is straight from the horse's mouth (the Atmel datasheet for the 328)...

The diagram on this page has a helpful reference to arduino pin numbering: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/PinMapping168
