Question about Atmega328

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello,
I want to connect my Atmega328 to directly computer (Using USB), So I have set up my Atmega328 circuit, but What I have to do after this, should I connect it directly to computer without uploading/installing anything on atmega328 or computer (Arduino IDE)? Should I normally choose Arduino Uno as board (I have uploaded Arduino Uno bootloader on atmega328)? if not then what I have to install (and how)?

thanks

Thanks for replying @LarryD. But I have one question: In the step where I have to open Serial Monitor I don't see anything, I see only strange characters (I have uploaded code and correctly selected serial port 'baud'), how to fix this?

strange characters

Check that your baud rate on the serial monitor is the same as in the sketch.

@LarryD, Ok thanks for replying but it's not answer to my first question:

I want to connect my Atmega328 to directly computer (Using USB), So I have set up my Atmega328 circuit, but What I have to do after this, should I connect it directly to computer without uploading/installing anything on atmega328 or computer (Arduino IDE)? Should I normally choose Arduino Uno as board (I have uploaded Arduino Uno bootloader on atmega328)? if not then what I have to install (and how)?

See:
Gammon Forum : Electronics : Microprocessors : How to make an Arduino-compatible minimal board

The tutorial that you gave me uses FTDI cable, but I ask that How to do this without FTDI cable, with just normal usb and Atmega328.

thanks

Some problems here, would you attach the code you are referring to?
Are you connecting a bread board chip circuit to PC computer?
