Does anyone know any beginner friendly tutorials on how to do this
I've got various projects in mind where it would be cool to use the arduino as the brain but i want to keep the project as small as possible and would like to keep the arduino platform for more prototyping.
So how do I go about flashing one of the Atmega 168 or 328 chips? do they just plug into the arduinos 28 pin socket and are good to go or is it more in depth than that?
any guides or good tutorials much appreciated.
cheers in advance
P.s. I'm looking once again at ebay for the chips but if anyone knows better/cheaper do shout and the same goes for anyone who knows good ways to shrink arduino projects down in size.
