avr development board vs arduino

raisingthunder

hey ben i saw your avr development board one episode i like that just want to ask is it's working is same like arduino and it's a clone of arduino or not and second thing why don't you have program the  boot loader of arduino from arduino software while you've done it using avr studio first copied and transferred hmm please response

 

thank you in advance

       A bootloader usually is already on the Arduino unless you get just a chip without one. If that is the case, another Arduino can be used to load the one without. The clones work similarly, but find directions cause the devil is in the details. In some cases a special avr programmer can be used, but these cost much. BTW, a bootloader is added to your application code when the chip is erased...

    so you mean to say that if i purchase and empty new atmega328 mcc chip. i can use arduino ide software to install boot loader in my chip and the avr development board that (i've seen in ben heck's episode )  works similar as arduino board except that avr development board does not have an usb to serial conversion chip that arduino has.........

     

    thanks in advance again......!! image image image

    Hi Happy,

     

    Some advice for you, Be careful while buying chips if you want to burn the Arduino Uno boot loader do by a ATmega328P-PU NOT a ATmega328-PU ther is no physical difference in those but Arduino Uno boot loader will not install in the ATmega328-PU, second advise you will need a operational Arduino to put the boot loader on the empty chip, or other AVR programmers, but the Arduino method is easier, Once the boot loader is installed you can programme your chip via any usb to serial converter..
