    hi @ahmedadelhosni

    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).

      I have successfully burned a new bootloader to a pro mini clone, now I can run it down to 1,8V(I think) tried 2,6V and it still works

      Thanks for a great tut

        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 ;) )

            @LastSamurai

            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 override
                  

                  You 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 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.

                            @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!

                                  Did I burn the bootloader successfully? The video indicates it should take longer, this literally took less than a second?

                                  @rsachoc I haven't burned a bootloader since I have did this topic, but I do remember that it took like 2 seconds. It was really fast.
                                  You can try flashing the code to verify that it works well.

                                    @ahmedadelhosni good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'm going to have to build a slim temp node first, as my current chip is soldered to the board with no bootloader.

                                      Hey guys, I have been building my own sensor nodes that should consume as little power as needed, so I burned a 1MHz bootloader with lower BOD settings which I found in the "slime 2AA battery node" thread (I guess this here is the same one).

                                      I had some problem with the node afterwards, which I fixed by setting the baudrate of the mysensors library to 9600. It seems like that is needed (too), beside settings the upload speeds. Can you guys confirm that? If so I would suggest adding that to the (great) manual!

                                        Hey guys, I have been building my own sensor nodes that should consume as little power as needed, so I burned a 1MHz bootloader with lower BOD settings which I found in the "slime 2AA battery node" thread (I guess this here is the same one).

                                        I had some problem with the node afterwards, which I fixed by setting the baudrate of the mysensors library to 9600. It seems like that is needed (too), beside settings the upload speeds. Can you guys confirm that? If so I would suggest adding that to the (great) manual!

                                        @LastSamurai I've been advised that setting the baud rate in myconfig.h is the correct way to get things working when uploading sketches to the slim node. Don't think it matters when burining the bootloader though.

                                          @LastSamurai I have faced this problem a couple of times but I don't remember how do I solve it. I just keep trying different solution. But I have to say thay I am using development branch and I don't redefine the baud rate if I don't wan't the serial debug.
