ATmega324

Pavilion1984:
Hello everyone,

Sorry if this has been covered before but after googling not much info came up. Am finding that i don't have enough pins with the Arduino UNO but the Arduino MEGA is far to many so is it possible to use the ATmega324 in the same way i use the Arduino UNO with the Arduino IDE?

I typed "arduino ATmega324" into google and the first link was this: Arduino Forum

OTOH you don't really gain an awful lot for what you're giving up. You're not getting any extra RAM or flash memory and you'll gain more output pins (for example) by adding a 16-bit shift register to a '328 than moving to a '324.
