Hi everyone, I'm new here
I also have little experience with electronics so I thought I'd start out by building a breaduino. I've scoured the internet trying to learn and while putting it together I encountered several problems which I cannot find answers to.
My breadboard looks like this
So I have two questions
-
Am I right in thinking that if I connect the FTDI basic to the black header directly below it on the breadboard a reverse-bias will destroy my 5V regulator?
-
More importantly, is it possible to burn the bootloader on to the blank atmega382p with the FTDI basic alone?
