update: well.. i got things up and running with a minimal/breadboard Arduino using +3.3v @ 8MHz internal clock
to be clear order of things (for me) were:
1.) hook up my Arduino Duemilanove 2009 board to USB
2.) Open IDE (I used v.23)
3.) Tools >>> Board >> (Duemilanove 2009)
4.) Tools >>> Serial Port (select port your above Arduino is connected to)
5.) File >>> Examples >>> ArduinoISP.. (upload this sketch to your Arduino board.
6.) Disconnect.. from USB
7.) Connect a 100-120 ohm resistor between RESET & +5v (to disable auto-reset on the MAIN board)
8.) Connect your target board (minimal +3.3v/8Mhz internal clock) to the MAIN Arduino above.
Wiring Pnout:
Arduino board pin >>> Target board pin
D10 >>>> RESET
D11 >>>> D11
D12 >>>> D12
D13 >>>> D13
GND >>>> GND
+3.3v >>>> VIN on breadboard...
9.) Reconnect MAIN Arduino board to USB.
10.) Open IDE (I used v.23)
11.) Tools >>> Board >> (Breadboard 3.3v with Internal 8MHz clock)
12.) Tools >>> Serial Port (select port your above Arduino is connected to)
13.) Tools >>> Burn Bootloader >> w/Arduino as ISP
(bootloaded and can upload sketches all day...)..
two things I noticed though...
1.) Does NOT work with Aruino IDE 1.0+ out of the box...not sure exactly how to make it work yet either.
From reading around, it seems to have something to do with:
a.) editing/adding pin_arduino.h or Arduino.h files to somewhere.
b.) edit the breadboard 'boards.txt' file.. and add a line at the end?
(not to sure.. a bit above my comfort level messign with boards.txt and stuff)
this is just specific to my project.. not about the minimal Arduino part..
2.) and the MAIN problem I need to overcome.. I cant seem to communicate/initialize an SD card???
Using an Arduino @ 16MHz (external crystal) & +5v... I have never had a problem.. with voltage divider or level shifter..or shield...
having the Arduino with +3.3v logic and INTENRAL 8MHz clock doesnt seem to work.. and I 'thought' I would be able to directly connect/communicate to it? (no voltage divider, no level shifter..etc)
been searching around.. and havent found much on using 3.3v8MHz internal clock -with- SD card..
anyone done this? (so I know Im not spinning my wheels?)
