While the ATMega328 is “mega” for a microcontroller, it’s still a fairly limited platform. It has plenty of I/O and working memory for most tasks, but this Battleship game that [t… ...

This ATMega328 chip holds a pre-burned bootloader, ... If you go through the Arduino IDE you can see an example sketch called “Arduino as ISP”. If you upload this code to your Arduino, it will ...

However if you are using an odd model programmer in which “10-pin ISP” connection provides the interface, carefully re-wire the breadboard section to lodge a 0-pin connection. In this case it is ...

ATmega has some advantages over ATtiny, but mainly in capacity, not so much in features. ... First, after I build the ISP style programmer (uses the 74HC244 octal buffer), ...

The board is laid out in Fritzing with just a few parts including a crystal, a few caps, an ISP connector, and pins for a serial connector. Not much, but that’s all you need for a prototyping board.

The Ubuntu Linux distribution has been ported to the cheapest and most portable platform yet: An Atmel ATmega microcontroller. Boasting a 20MHz 8-bit AVR processor, ...
