I want an stand alone ATMEGA328.....

Mark

That great you've got it working.

Perhaps you could post your 'tweaks' here and then mark it answered and acknowledge any helpful answers.

As Billabot pointed out giving the important facts in the early post means the answers might come quicker.

hello Sir mark,

sorry for late reply i've been so busy in our proj. at school.. thank YOU so much on helping about this standalone and as well as to "billabot" making this

standalone 328 possible,. I have also made a shield of it, so i can program it easily using the TONNER TRANSFER METHOD... take a look at this pic.

Hi Mark i read your discussion.i am new to this and bought 10 ATMEGA 328-PU and want to burn the aurdino bootloader to it.i have usbasp and tried to burn the bootloader but not successful in doing that.can you please help me and teach me how to do it please.I will be greatly thankful to you.

Do you already have an Arduino UNO, if so then this is a great way to do what you need

No i donot have Ardino and i have Atmega 328-PU not the Atmega328P-PU

Hi i donot have a ardino uno and i wnt to bootload Atmega 328-PU not an Atmega328P-PU

they both take the same boot loader, I use both interchangeably all the time and have not noticed any difference

you will either ned an ISP loader or another Arduino of some kind in order to program the chip, wither that or invest in a formal programmer from Atmel. The ISP is the cheapest to go with

google this "isp programmer Arduino" and you will see loads for about 5$ and loads of articles on how to use them

Peter i have usb asp programmer and when i try to bootload the ardino bootloader i got an error

avrdude: error: programm enable: target doesn't answer. 1

avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1

         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override

         this check.

without seeing the programmer, I suspect it connects to the arduino like device using the RX/TX pins, not the MOSI/MISO/SCK lines and therefore unless the 328 already has a boot loader you will get that error

If these chips do not have a boot loader you will need either an ISP programmer or a dedicated one. Is there anychance you have a friend with an UNO or similar 328 based board, if you could borrow it, it would talk you not much time to program all your chips with the boot loader then you can upload sketches with the ASP programmer you have. (Keep one of the chips to use as a programmer for future 328 chips while your at it.

I am trying to bootload using MOSI/MISO/SCK lines it that possible i seen tutorials online for programming atmega328 with usbasp
