DRAFT - How I motorized my Ikea SKARSTA standup desk with an Arduino UNO - PRO version

This post is still on DRAFT. I’ll update the final version very soon!

This is a continuation to my previous post How I motorized my Ikea SKARSTA standup desk with an Arduino UNO. Please read that first if you haven’t already.

The automation project from my previous post is very much functional and I’m happy with it. But if you are a little crazy and don’t want to waste a whole Arduino board on it and you want to take it to the next level… Behold the ATMEGA328P MicroController.

Pro Setup (optional) - Move this to a separate post

Soldering Kit - $18
Solderable Breadboard - $2
ATMEGA328P - $7
16Mhz Crystal Oscillator - $1
FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter - $3
22pf Capacitor - $1

This post is still on DRAFT. I’ll update the final version very soon!
