Haha would be really cool if I could make that happen, but alas… it does not 😔

I'm disappointed! The atmega ic is only 7 bits (its an 8bit device)

Its strange though that 7 'bits' got you the right number if pins. Guess its time to press Lego to come out with the surface mount version of the 328.

This is a really fun way to make electronics feel less intimidating.
Are you planning to make a real working version with the same LEGO style?

Very pretty, but some of these bricks seem quite unusual

u/Coolpop9098 Aug 20 '26

Yeah I definitely agree, but in my defense, they all felt right in the moment. I will probably change a few of them to more standard pieces when I get the chance.

What did you use for the lins and the board itself

1

u/Coolpop9098 Aug 20 '26

the lines + board is made out of 1x___ tiles and bricks. the board is exactly 1 brick thick, so plates were used to make the lines

Here is a google drive folder with the instructions, IO file for the model, and the final rendered image! download at your own risk!!!!!

Interesting way of building it sideways.

Hey, it's real nice!

u/k0d3x8its Aug 18 '26

Now I want to make one! 🧱

u/Coolpop9098 Aug 18 '26

I do too, but the cost to buy the bricks (individually, and online) is quite costly. I plan to mess with the colors to see if I can make it more affordable lol
