The project he linked to doesn't look like 500ma would matter much.

Next time you spend $25 for an ATmega32, remember what you called those other people.

Totes $25 for an ATmega32: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/ATMEGA328-PU/ATMEGA...

Try and pop the ARM chip off of your raspi and see how it works out.

$24 ATmega32 http://www.amazon.com/Arduino-Mega-MEGA-2560-Board/dp/B004A7...

For ARM, I prefer to solder my own LQFP at about $7. http://twitpic.com/btvkmd
