Does anyone knows if could be possible to use an atmega in the following scenario ?
I want to program the uC using the arduino mega usb method.
After the sketch is uploaded i want to desolder the uC and solder it on another board made by me.
It could be done ?
Only with great difficulty.
Better to put an ICSP header on the new board, or at least make this pins accessible, and bootload the chip directly there.
Add an FTDI port to plug an FTDI Basic on to the board for serial downloads.
Like I did on this board that I offer.
The two jumper blocks allow DTR to be disconnected, and to allow 5V from the USB port to be disconnected.
Crystal, caps, reset resister are all on the bottom. All 86 IO pins are accessible, vs just 70 on the Mega.
How can i contact you to discuss further related on this ?
