I bought an Arduino UNO and plan to use it for a sensor and motor. My question is, can I program on the UNO for the chip and manually take the chip out and place it on a breadboard to control the sensor and motor? Pretty much at this point, the only thing Im using is the chip on the UNO.
Yes.
What speed are you running at?
You may need the crystal, 22 pf caps, for 16 MHz operation,
and I would include the 10K Reset pullup resistor, and 100nF (0.1uF) caps on Vcc, AVCC, and Aref for stable operation.
You could install those few parts on a board like this for a stable little environment

I appreciate the reply. I am a total noob when it comes down to these thing. Regarding the speed, I really have no clue. I also plan to use a breadboard for all this. This is what I thought I could do. Used a 5V supply(function generator or battery lead) either through Vin or was it the 5V. I know 3.3V is from the regulator. Plan to use only the digital pin only for the sensor and motor. Ofcourse the motor won't run directly of the board so planing to use another source. Maybe a relay or something.
There's a pretty good tutorial right on the Arduino site http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoToBreadboard that explains why you need what.

I am going to use the minimal circuit. I follow what the directions said. Make a hardware folder in the arduino sketchbook. The UNO 8MHZ was the chosen board with correct serial port. Got this error when trying to complile.
