Next thing that comes into my mind is: Arduino commands. isnt there something like an arduino commands manual ?

EDIT:

I think ifound it:

What about shipping cost ?

If you go to their web site and click on an example like the $5.00 rhs, it will open another window with options for delivery.
China post seems the cheapest ( to Aus at least) but usually takes longer also.

At this point i think i have made up my mind on which cource of action i want to take.
Arduinos are excellent for beginners like me and ofcorce for advanced users and since i want to build my own boards i will just use the atmega 328-p-pu (i found it on ebay with the arduino uno bootloader).

My project involves tho microcontrollers. 1st one executing the main code and the 2nd transmitting serial data via software UART to the 1st.
As 1st (main) MC i can use the atmega 328-p-pu but as 2nd MC i need one (dip-8 package) that is capable of software UART.

Im having trouble finding a dip 8 chip that is software uart capable. I know that the atmel attiny45/85 are dip8 and capable of accepting the arduino bootloader but as stated in the bottom of this page :
http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/arduino-attiny
the bootloader on theese chips does not support software serial.

Any ideas or comments welcomed ! THANK YOU.
