Dear Farhan,

You say ' ...arduino as a 28 DIP socket soldered..', do you mean Atmega328P ? 
Even you programmed it using Arduino, it is Atmega, is'n it ...

I never programme AVR microcontroller, especially using Arduino. ( usually I 
use PIC and programme it using usb programmer ).
Looking the C language seem easier than assembler. Very interested to learn 
Arduino.

Please tell me what kind of Arduino you use to programme this Minima controller.
I can find easily many type of Arduino and Atmega ( but not Si570 ).

BTW I have two complete set of DDS VFO ( version of VU3CNS and LU5DJV, just 
finished and ready to use. Is it possible to use it for Minima ? Are there any 
modification accordingly ?

Regards,

I kinda enjoy wiring up an arduino rather than using. A regular board. If you 
see the pictures, you can spot the arduino as a 28 DIP socket soldered with its 
legs bent away to the solder side of a perf board, then, I put that board over 
a copper clad board and solder down the ground points to hold the perf to the 
copper.
That way, the arduino noise stays away from the analog circuitry.

Got the answer from here:-

So the -PU is the package type which is plastic dual in line (PDIP). The P
in 328P is something called "Picopower". A chip feature that I know
nothing about (yet) but Farhan specified it so I'd run with that one. So I
think your ATMEGA328P-PU is the right chip.

I've only played with ready made Audrino boards without burning my own
bootloader. So I hold off on answering that question.
