Hello mr_mac3,
Thanks for the short but to the point tutorial. Now, once I have successfully burned the bootloader how do I copy any sketch to the newly burned chip? I'm a bit confused since I'm using the new Arduino Uno. The part that gets me confused is that the ArduinoToBreadBoard page says:
"Once your ATmega328p has the Arduino bootloader on it, you can upload programs to it using the USB-to-serial convertor (FTDI chip) on an Arduino board. To do, you remove the microcontroller from the Arduino board so the FTDI chip can talk to the microcontroller on the breadboard instead."
And the UNO does not have this FTDI chip. Am I safe to assume that it will talk to the chip (atmega328P-PU) on the breadboard regardless using the same connections?
Again thanks for the bootloader part!
