Arduino == AVR programmer

Hey there, I am curious about this. Is this article means that I can use my arduino board as an AVR programmer to program my AVR chip such as atmega 8 that do not have bootloader on it ? I can upload the hex file from AVR studio ?

Thank you

Yes.

Yes.

You can also use AVRDude to upload other hex files from other sources also.

Yes, you can program AVRs with your Arduino. I've got a sample project that will show you how to do that. Scavenger Hunt Beacon Decoder and AVR Programmer - Open Hardware Hub

Hi,

Does it work with Mega2560 (Stk500 v2 protocol, larger memory) using an Arduino UNO as ISP programmer? I am having some troubles with this setup.

I believe it does, but I don't know for sure.

Try NickGammon's programmer for the larger memory of the '2560.
