Here we are using an Arduino UNO board to program the Atmega 328PU chip. UNO board is acting as an ISP (In System Programming) programmer to program the chip on a bread board or on a PCB. This method ...

Step 1: Configuring Arduino Uno as an ISP: Since ATtiny85 is just a microcontroller, it requires an ISP (In-System Programming) to be programmed. So to program the ATtiny85, we need to first configure ...

Wouldn’t it be great is you could also use the ’16u2 on the Uno or Mega for some additional functionality to your Arduino sketch? That’s now a reality.

But, my projects became very regular and I had a necessity to have a more robust and reliable programmer, without the usage of protoboard and hundreds of faulty cables that made me pluck all my hair ...
