Yea, I can not think of a way to work this that dose not sound like a complaint.
Anyway, has any one else noticed the cost of the 328p-pu dip through-hole, online I have found them only as cheap as $4 a peace, where looking on some old posting, they where only about $2 each. On mouser they are about $5 each.
You can pick up a 328 IC in a Bat-wing layout for between $2/$3, which is kind of okay I guess.
Please note, I am only taking about buying the IC its self and nothing else.
(Okay lesson learned, do not start topics while watching Family Guy, sorry about that)
I posted a message concerning this relatively recently. I agree with you. I have a few points of data of my buys over the past couple of years and prices now are quite a bit higher.
