Hi guys;
I just finish testing my DIY ZIF Arduino Programer. It simply a 28 pins ZIF socket so you can place a Ardiuno chip - ATMega328P with the bootloader, the standard components ( push-button, decouple cap, crystal with caps and limiting resistor amd led - on indicator and pin 13 ) with a typical Ardiuino chip and a USB - serial small board --> http://arduino.cc/en/Main/MiniUSB. Just select the serial port and Arduino Pro ( 5 V - 16 MHz ) in Tools. And you are ready to program your Arduino.
Here my test program.
void setup() {
// init pin 13
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
blinkfast();
delay(2000);
}
void blinkfast()
{
for (int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(250);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(250);
}
}
The code is simply a blink - blink 5 time and wait for 2 second. Press reset, work fine, pin 13 flash once.
So my project pass : test one, test two and QC.
Here a picture.
