Arduino Project to Product Part 4: Optimizing Operating Voltage – Maker.io Tutorial | Digi-Key

In this video, Shawn Hymel continues the tutorial on operating voltage optimization using datasheet information and the physical characteristics of project components. Buck, boost and buck/boost regulators are discussed as well as how to run the Atmega 328P at lower voltages by reducing clock speed. Shawn explains brown out detection and uses the Digilent Analog Discovery 2 to analyze the final designs operating voltage.

"I also removed the LED", after all that theory, researching, calculations and testing... the damn LED was really important. Great videos man, I feel my head is exploding...

I don't understand how you got rid of the oscillator... where does the 328P get the clock from?
