Hi all, please I need the help urgently, I have bought a ATMEGA328P-PU chip today, but its not working when I insert it, in to my arduino uno board I feel there is no boot loader installed, so please guide me how to bootload it, please urgent.
Use Nick Gammon's setup, running a bootloading sketch on your Arduino to program the bare chip.
Hi thanks for your roly, I have already gone through this but my doubt is, do we need 0.1uf capacitor ? Because I don't have that currently, is it OK to continue without that ? Please reply..
The caps aren't essential, so try it without them. The purpose of the caps are to smooth the power input to the chip, if your power supply is clean then they're not needed, if you have spikes or ripples on the supply then these will help keep it stable.
