Here’s 2 ATMega168’s sharing one 16mHz resonator, one reset switch, two 10k resistors, one 220ohm resistor, and two LED pilots. I used a mini USB adapter and uploaded the LED blink test to both chips, and as Paul [Badger] suspected, they are perfectly synchronized - I’ve tested numerous resets, and the start up blink sequence and blink demo on both, are identical.
I don’t need synchronized chips, but I happen to have a use for 2 168’s connected via i2C - not sure if anyone else does but it adds a lot of pins and a second serial buffer for an almost next to nothing outlay. This can be put together using 1 RBBB and a second chip with the boot loader installed, so that’s quite inexpensive, so long as you’ve got got a mini USB adapter laying around.

Single-core shortages to blame?
Speculation a month or so back that Intel will soon be releasing a dual-core Atom processor failed to be followed by the anticipated announcement. Now we know why: shortages of the single-core version.

OK, this isn’t exactly a complicated robot. I really like the simplicity of the build. It would be very easy to change things around or add sensors, since the breadboard is right there on top and it has a lot of extra room.

I just finished my first composition with the LilyPad Arduino, in the form of a conductive blinky embroidered wall hanging. It generates a little tune that’s changeable by covering the photoresistor. If you’re around Phoenix, you can come see it on Friday night at Cartel Coffee Lab in Tempe.
