I am using atmega 8 on my Arduino Uno board. As it has a start-up delay, I am trying to upload the hex file directly to the atmega 8 using external programmer AVR-ISP to avoid start-up delay. I am able to upload the hex file successfully to the Arduino using external programmer, but the problem is Arduino won’t start unless I press the reset button. Am I missing something? Any suggestions are welcome… Thanks in advance!
When I connect the arduino to external power source, there was no problem at all..so I guess, my laptop USB source is not sufficient enough to provide required power for arduino and LCD.
