| Hey again! I am curious I know the arduino boards have pins pulled out to a connection for RX and TX but I am unsure do all Atmegas have this capability on pins and if not what is the smallest chip that has this capability. |

| You can easily pull out any pins from any Atmega. Just get some narrow nose pliers and pull firmly. |

I'm not sure if all megas have a UART, but certainly the vast majority do.

What is your definition of "small"? Lowest pin count? Smallest physical size? Smallest amount of flash? |

| Thanks for the answer didnt know it was just UART I didnt really have a definition of size in mind when i wrote it but i dont want to buy a ATmega2560 when I can get away with using something like a ATmega8 (not necessarily the ones i have in mind). |
