[Tutorial] How to burn 1Mhz & 8Mhz bootloader using Arduino IDE 1.6.5-r5
-
@flopp A pro-mini can do this if the fuses are set properly (when powering via Vcc for instance). If you power the Pro Mini via the "raw" pin, then power passes through the on board power regulator first, and this one will not allow 1.8V as far as I know.

@GertSanders
Good to hear. I will reply how it went -
@flopp look for messages on power saving on pro mini on this forum.

Thank you for the tutorial. Quick question: Is it possible to just take the Atmega 328 chip with the freshly flashed bootloader, and just stick in in the Arduino Uno to program a sketch?

@drock1985 I think I have done just that. It only needs to have a bootloader (you could just flash one there though).
-
Awesome @LastSamurai thanks.
One other question: Is it possible to just use a standard USB to FTDI converter to flash the sketch? Ex: flash bootloader using an Uno, then install in a SlimNode and use the FTDI connector there to flash?

@drock1985 Yes once it has a bootloader that should be possible (you need to use the right settings though ;) )

What settings would those be? Would they be things outside of the tutorial?
Sorry to ask so many questions. Never flashed an Arduino before outside of connecting a USB cable to an Uno or Nano

@drock1985 Mainly the baudrate but if you just burn the standard e.g. Arduino Uno bootloader and then use the IDE with the Uno settings everything should work fine. If you encounter errors you can still check your settings ;) They are in the boards.txt file of the IDE.
Just try it though, it really isn't that hard ;)

Hi there, and thanks for the tutorial. I'm trying this for the first time (the ATmega is going to be used in a slim temp node), and I'm receiving this message you mentioned:
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature. Double check connections and try again, or use -F to overrideYou mention we should try the following:
Maybe your chip is configured to run on an external crystal clock. I tested with two values and it succeeded. I used 10Mhz and 20Mhz as I didn't have 16 Mhz. Connect the crystal to pin 9 and 10 Note: You won't need the crystal except for the first time as the new bootloader is configured to run on internal 1Mhz or 8Mhz.I don't quite follow what this means? Do I need a 10mhz, 16mhz or 20mhz crystal attached to the breadboard like you show in the video? If so, is that the only change I would need to make?
FYI I'm using an Arduino clone (Buono uno r3, set at 5V)

@rsachoc Maybe I need to rephrase the sentence :)
I meant that any crystal value will work. I didn't have 16Mhz, but I had the values 10Mhz and 20 Mhz. So I tested with 10 Mhz and I bypassed the error and didn't come again. I wanted to know further whether the crystal value is important or not. So I got another chip with preloaded arduino bootloader, and tested with 20Mhz. Also I succeeded. Thus I assume that you can use any value for this step .I am also using Uno clone and this is the only thing I did regarding this issue. I didn't even add capacitors to the crystal. Just put any value and test.

@ahmedadelhosni thanks! I'm going to grab a 10mhz and 16mhz to test later this evening. Just to confirm from what you've said, I don't need the capacitors? I know in the youtube vid there were capacitors used?

@rsachoc yes. I didn't also have caps and it worked :)

@rsachoc ofcourse if you have 16Mhz and capacitors like the reference video, that would be great. but if you were in a hurry and lazy to buy some, so just do it like so.
Edit: 16* Mhz not 10 Mhz -
@ahmedadelhosni I have some capacitors, but no crystals, so I'm picking a 10mhz and 16mhz up later today. I'll try with just the capacitors first and see how I go.
Thanks!
@rsachoc edit: sorry I meant 16. Like the normal arduino board
