Hi, I just received a Arduino Mega and it works OK, since I just programmed a few Atmega8(s) a few times and just now started using the arduino interface with my new board, I want to flash the arduino bootloader on my other boards, that use 16MHz crystal and Atmega8.
I followed the tutorial on the site, but I couldn´t burn the bootloader properly... I think it´s something about me using wrong ports on my Arduino Mega, cause that thing is HUGE.
Can anyone help me please?
I know that´s probably a noob question... but maybe it can help more people starting now.
In fact, all my problems are related to "follow this wiring", the Arduino MEGA is waaay different than the other one, used in this tutorial, and I was expecting to burn my Atmega8 in his board, or in a prot-o-board, without doing one shield for that.
By the way, where I connect that shield? I just can´t figure out what I need to connect, believe me, I´ve done a nice research before asking, if I´m asking for help, it´s ´cause i realy couldn´t do this.
I was looking at the pinmapping of Arduino Mega (Atmega1280) and i was thinking about changing the program code to use another ports, ports that I KNOW WHERE IT IS ON THE BOARD and aren´t linked to the ADC converter pins, I´ve ran a few tests on it, but still didn´t have sucess...
Can anyone give me a little more information and help me here?
