Thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial ! For those who have an error message when bootloading like :"protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x14...". You can try to put a 10uf capacitor or more if you don't have beetween the reset of the arduino (the second socket after the 5v output socket of the arduino) and the ground of the breadboard. So the positive leg on the reset socket and the negative leg on the ground of the breadboard. It worked for me !
Thank you. I've been searching for about an hour and this is the only tutorial that actually tells you how to program an AVR using the Arduino. All the other tutorials tell you to download the AVR toolchain.
Hi Elmerato Glad the tutorial helped! The only downside to this is if you want your final project to be re-programmable via ISP, you have to be careful how you use pins 17,18,19 for other I/O functions as it may disrupt the program upload process. I usually dedicate those pins to ISP functions in my circuits to be safe. The benefits come from being able to update the program in your project without taking anything apart. Also, since the bootloader is gone, you have more space for programs.
@@NotesAndVolts plz sir i've Qst:i've code written in avr-gcc and i want uploade this code to ATTINY 2313 and ATMEGA 328P. is this method inn video work?
I have been trying to find a written article about this and while I've found lots of good articles about using an arduino to write the bootloader to another arduino, I haven't found something satisfying about how to actually program a sketch using an arduino as ISP to another arduino. And +1 on the secret being shift + upload! Very useful and clear tutorial, Notes and Volts!
I built a programming header into my project planning to do most of the work with the thing intact, i didn't know that there even was an "Upload using programmer" option that came up when you held shift. I always figured that just by flashing the arduino as ISP code it and selecting it the program would do it automatically, thank you for this video it is an amazing resource.
excellent all videos really very didactic I congratulate the world of the micro controller is fantastic I personally used the picaxe and arduino environment I like more the latter basically for two reasons The first is the concept of modular assembly hardware and the second is so abundant information
Hello, thanks for the fantastic video- very useful. I have a couple of questions: Firstly, when you burn the boot-loader using this method, will the boot-loader burn to BOTH the AVR on the Uno board AND the AVR on the breadboard or just the breadboard. Secondly, when you download a sketch using the 'Upload using Programmer' setting, does this download to the Uno and the Breadboard or just the breadboard. My concern is that the LEDs on the Uno AND the Breadboard were both flashing when you downloaded the sketch. Thanks, Jamie B.
Hi Peter. I believe the Atmega48 is pin compatible with the 328P so the circuit might work, but I don't think the Arduino IDE has a configuration file for the 48. You would have to make your own. Google around and see if people have done this. Let me know if you get it to work. Good luck!
been scrapping over the net for a LOOONNGGG time to get something that works. atlast! though the arduino ISP sketch might have been needing just a little editing.
thank you so much sir. it comes very helpful to me. I managed evertyhing you explained in your video. you gave me a gift that i don't need avr programmer . below error codes commented by others (which i faced exaclty the same ) can be solved with power arranged through arduino (isp) board up to your breadboard or if you want to use separate power externally then bridge minus of it to arduino minus(ground).
if you are not burning the bootloader wouldn't it just be easier to remove the chip from your arduino and connect the RX/TX pins on the arduino board to pins 2 and 3 of the atmega chip and reset to pin 1, that way you will just program the chip on the breadboard just like it was inserted into the arduino board. You can even keep your external supply connected because the reset wire acts as a gound to the arduino power, or you can disconnect the external power and share the arduino 5v power.
+Rejin Jacob Hi Rejin. In this case we are only using the bootloader to setup a new ATmega chip with the correct parameters. Once this is done the first time, you do not have to do it again with this chip. When you upload your code via ISP, it will overwrite the bootloader and you will be able to use the extra space. Good luck!
Hi Max. The Blink program was used as an example. In reality you would upload your own program. If you're talking about the ArduinoISP program, it comes with the Arduino software in the FILES>EXAMPLES folder.
OMG... I spent literally 30 hours trying to figure out how to upload sketch code into Atmega328P-U with no avail... this video tutorial helped me, I did not knew you need to hold the shift key to make the Arduino IDE to upload code to the Atmega328P-U rather than the Arduino board. It does not make sense why we need to configure on the "programmer section" at the arduino IDE and also need to press the shift key. I seriously need to stop using this Arduino IDE and shift towards Atmel Studio IDE. I watched literally watched 100s of youtube video and no one said to hold the "shift key"... wow. Now I need to figure out how to upload sketch code using UART serial pins from a USB to TTL converter device, I hope you have a video on this. Thanks! Also from what I heard, this process erases the bootloader since we are using the SPI pins to upload the sketch code.
I tried the whole sequence but got the message below: "avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F Double check chip, or use -F to override this check. Error while burning bootloader."
+Brandon Low Hi Brandon. Yes this is possible as long as the Atmega chip already has the Arduino bootloader installed. You can buy Atmega328p chips with the bootloader included. If it is a new chip with no bootloader it will not be recognizable by the Arduino.
personally although microchip presents really powerful micro controllers I stay with arduino by your system assemblable card Greetings and sorry my English congratulations again
George Wilson Hi There. Have you successfully burned the bootloader yet? The 328PU has a different signature than the 328P. Read this forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=58670.0
please tell me where to get these jumper wires. I own a few of them and like them much more than these cheap everywhere to get jumper wires with angular grips, but I can't find out where I got these round grip connectors you are using nor where I can get new ones. Thx for answers
One other note. When I load the ArduinoISP sketch, I noticed the 'programmer' selection on the tools dropdown menu is set at AVR ISP, ie 'programmer: AVR ISP'. I noticed in your video is just says 'programmer' with no colon and suffix like AVR ISP or AVRISP mkii, etc. Don't know if this has any significance but wanted to pass it along. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for your videos, many of them were helping me a lot with my midi projects! thank you! I would like to ask you something... I design a custom board with an atmega32U4 for a midi controller project... I programed using an arduino as isp and avrdudess. It works good always, but now it doesn't work anymore, it doesn't recognize the atmega32u4. I checked all the wires a hundred of times and everything is ok... but the most weird thing it is that it was working fine and suddenly just stop working... do you have any idea of what could happening? Thanks
the LED on the board was flashing in sync with the one on arduino...wasn't that driven by arduino?...wanted you to disconnect the 3 wires while running to see that the chip was indeed programmed.
Simply brilliant - nothing is missing and everything is explained straight forward.
Thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial !

For reference, pins 13,12,11 are SCK, MISO and MOSI from the Uno's SPI interface.

How does the Arduino doing it without having to care about certain pins?
After 2 weeks attemting to solve the problem, key was in "shift + upload"

What is the best Arduino to start learning on?
Hi Invention. The UNO is the most popular board so you are likely to find more tutorials using it. I would start with the UNO.
what do the RST pin do on both boards when programing?
I get this error message:
Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F
The print on the chip says ATmega328P -PU. I don't know what's going on.
Very helpful video.thank you

is a bootloader mandatory on the external chip as we are using ISP to program and save some space?

Where can I find the code that you loaded to the microcontroller?
Very nice tutorial!!! :)
Hey just wondering, if I try to upload to a board that it is not listed, or upload to the wrong board but with the correct pinout, what will happen?
Does this require that the bootloader already be on your avr target?
Thanks a lot, man!
Hi ClickClack Jack
Arduino IDE version 1.0 and later made the extra cap on the reset pin unnecessary.
Thanks!
You dont have to use a 10uf capacitor from ground to reset pin on arduino? To keep to arduino from reseting that is.
it's good video. it explained every thing.
Thanks Venkatesh!
