Anyone help with this?
I bought a Mintduino kit, assembled it and got it running fine.
What I am wondering is... It uses a 328 chip. I have a bag of 168 chips. Can I recreate the Mintduino ( breadboard/layout etc), but use the 168 the chips instead?
Thx, McP.
Yup - 328 and 168 are pin compatible with eachother and the 328/168P (also the 48, 88 and p versions of those). People make "perfboarduinos" all the time.
You of course do need a different bootloader for the different size chips (since it needs to be compiled for the memory size you're using)
The 168PB, however, is not.
Thanks D for the reply.
Next question, what are the different bootloaders?
I've not actually got around to that part, as, comprehensive though the Mintduino instructions are, there is nothing helpful about using the FTDI friend that comes with it. Still investigating that, so any pointers would be appreciated.
Cheers. McP
