Programming Breadboard Arduino

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Ok guys so i tried burning the bootloader onto a bread board arduino using my uno as the isp programmer. It said the bootloader was burned but when i tried to load the blink example onto the breadboard arduino it loaded onto my uno and not to my bread board.

I selected tools, programmer, arduino as ISP then clicked the upload button. Any advice?

Also is there any benefit to running the 16MHz external clock and caps vs using the internal 8MHz clock?

Thanks

Mitch

Have you been following the advice here? As far as I recall when you want to use the Arduino to upload code you need to remove its Atmega 328.

The only advantage of 16MHz over 8MHz is speed - if you need it. The crystal probably also gives a more stable frequency.
