ATM18-DIP
(Summer Circuits 2010 article)
Even though you can’t actually damage the microcontroller in the ATM18 project by the configuration of its fuse bits, setting them wrongly can however disable it. There are actually several different ways of cutting off the branch you’re sitting comfortably on. Thus it is possible to accidentally change, for example, the programmer access mode or the clock source. In both the aforementioned cases, bringing your microcontroller back to life can take some time and may even need equipment you don’t have to hand.

Gerber file
CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.
Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.
TIP: your first PCB at AISLER is free up to €30 with using the coupon code ELCCBB at checkout.
