The docs for the MPU talks about SCL and SDA -- what pins are those? I don't see that explained in the docs...

Hi mikedoug,

Chapter 21 of the ATmega168 datasheet, titled "2-wire serial interface" and abbreviated TWI, is Atmel's way of avoiding the Philips trademarks on the name I2C. :-)

The actual pin numbers are MCU pin #28 for SCL, and MCU pin #27 for SDA. That's written on page 2 of the ATmega168 datasheet, under "pin configurations".

And I'm guessing that you're looking into this in relationship to the "Biology Project" post?

The Biology Project post got me looking into it -- that and a heck of a lot of curiosity. :)

Did you know that there are Power MOSFETs for switching big loads on and off? Learn more...
