 		 #169872 - Atmel representatives
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Neil said:
As a student, it's always worth speaking nicely to the companies themselves or their distributors to see if you can blag some free samples - Some have specific educational programmes for this kind of thing.

The manufacturer's websites will have listings of their local offices & distributors.

Obviously, you can't demand anything - you need to ask very nicely, and present yourself as a worthwhile student working on a worthwhile project...



Atmel representatives usually favour Colleges /students with freebies maybe you could contact them .They would even be happy to change your college mind to AVRs . BTW mouser.com too is well priced and very prompt . Farnell/Newark of UK looks costly ? though I prefer Farnell for few quantities for prototype developments.
