ok so several years ago i stumbled across a thread somewhere on the internet that instructed you on how to make a heatbeat board and programmer for arduino, you assembled this board, plugged another at chip into that board then mounted that board onto your arduino and used your arduino board to write the code to that second chip making it a standalone IC.
I have been given a commision work peice for model spitfire vs a model messerschmitt in a dog fight and need to add the code i have to the IC to control the lighting for these models. oh and i lost the board i made so have to build it again.
big kink in that plan, cant remember where that thread was nor have i been able to find it again. and i cant remember how to build the board either so i need some assistance and hoping a poor soul can direct this lost soul in the right direction of an appropriate thread.
it was such a simple and workable design too.
god i hope that makes sense.
TLDR: need to make a board to plug in a small AT chip to my arduino load basic code onto it and use AT chip as standalone IC. help with making that board haha.
my concnern is if it will operate the 8 pin ICs like ATtiny45/85
Oh. I don't think either one of them will support the HV Serial programming you need for a TinyX5 that has had its reset pin configured for GPIO, which is probably a desirable characteristic. And I don't know whether either is set up for convenient "socketing" of the 8pin chips.
awesome i wont buy that shield then. its fustrating i cant find the thread that i used to build the last one i had years ago.
the current project only needs an 8 pin chip and i dont have the space to use a larger chip but only use whats needed so it really does need to be an 8pin and try and work out a functional 8pin shield for it.
