Hello! I am working on a university project and the chips we are given by the university are DIP packages of ATMega 88. I see that these chips are pin- compatible with the 328. My question is: is there any way I can stick an ATMega88 into an Arduino UNO R2 and have it work properly?
Probably...but why? All you gain is a pretty piece of blue circuit board around the chip with some connectors on the edge.
I'd stick the chip in a breadboard and connect your Arduino Uno to it as an ISP programmer. It will work just the same and everybody will be happier.
