Atmega328P-PU (arduino uno) from breadboard to pcb

bobj6
bobj6 over 10 years ago

Hello everybody.

 

I been working with an arduino uno for a few years now and i decide to make them standalone.

So i bought some Atmega328P-PU and start putting them on a breadboard with a Crystal and a few capacitors

I have loaded the BLINK example onto my Atmega chip and this works fine, The led blinks with an interval of aproximilly a 1/2 second.

 

Now this works i have solderd one onto a PCB.

I used a Voltage regulator (L7805ABV) to make 5 volts out of 12 volts.

the Atmega does get power and ground and the Crystal is also correct installed.

But when i start it up the led on pin 13 doesn't light up.

When I touch the plastic of the Atmega chip the led does ligt up, But flashes way to fast (Not the 1/2 a second it should).

 

does anyone have an idea what is going wrong here?

I thank you in advance.

 

Yours sincerly,

Bob

    It sounds like a couple of things; probably a floating reset pin (that would explain why a finger near it makes a difference) and also probably the config reg fuse values have an incorrect prescaler value…

    I am using ic sockets so i dont solder with the chip on the board.

    I have been doing this recently and have had an issue with a dead crystal after a short. The chip didn't work at all in my board but was fine in the original arduino. I'm waiting for some replacements…

    When you soldier them, you must be very careful of not conducting the heat to the processor which can affect them. Did you soldier a pin holder and then plug the processor  in? The plastic touching indicates a possible shorting occurring.

    That's good news image

     

    Can you post the PCB?
