just wondering is it possible burn projects to a standalone chip rather than using the arduino interface all the time?
many thanks
decorations555:
I am curious about something; you had a question, it was answered fast, that's great, right?
But why did you ask the question in the first place? What I mean is, this particular question is asked at least once a week, if not more often, so what was it that prevented you from finding an answer?
Even if you couldn't navigate the site well (is this an issue?), you could go to google, type in "arduino standalone", and...
http://www.google.com/search?q=arduino+standalone
The first link would take you to the page Grumpy_Mike posted.
So what prevented you from doing that?
I am honestly curious and I want an answer that makes sense, because it would only help to improve the site and resources for new users. Back in the day, one had an excuse that they didn't understand a card catalog or the Dewey Decimal system - but that excuse doesn't apply anymore in the age of Google...
/I miss microfiche...(not really)...
thanks for the reply grumpy mike
hi crosh, i will gladly answer your question. i suppose it was basically down to a form of laziness and/or multi-tasking (whatever way you look at it)
dropping a post on the board is easy... go do some excercise....then the answer is there when i return.. after all isn't that what its all about....making things easier (because we are lazy)
it was just a general question that was not priority knowledge...can you tell me why you were so curious?
you do not need to answer my curious question....i never seen your full (window was not max)
It's not the answer I wanted, but it was the answer I expected.
I am beginning to take the tack of not responding to these easily answerable questions; I can certainly understand some questions that are difficult to answer (ie, "How do I tune my PID?", among many) or reveal so many options as to be nearly overwhelming to a newcomer.
Your question was neither. Your question could've been answered just as quickly (if not quicker) and just as accurately, had you typed it into google than into this forum.
You've done nothing more than waste a wee bit of mine and Grumpy Mike's time, due to sheer laziness and/or apathy; I am not upset or angry, but I am a little annoyed. I don't know how Mike feels, but he should feel worse than I, since I didn't answer the question, and I willfully came into this discussion with a question of my own to you.
Rather than being lazy, next time be proactive and take a stab at google; 9/10 times you will find the answer there. If you can't find it there, search the forums here. Nobody is so busy as to not be able to do that, and if they are, then electronics and the Arduino probably isn't the hobby for them, as both take time and patience for full understanding (and without understanding, especially when it comes to electronics, you can end up dead quick depending on the situation).
Perhaps you schedule your time out (hopefully not to the minute though; such planning of a life seems to me a sad way to exist); if so, then you likely have a "work on arduino" time slot - do your search then, write it down or make a memo or set up a reminder alarm for it if you have to.
Only if you are unable to find an answer, or you find so many anwers you don't know where to turn, then post the question. This is something that should be general netiquette, but for some reason isn't.
Oh well.
Lol...
seriously though... if the Arduino "way" (as Smiley puts it) is not working out for you... there is a wonderful world of AVR development with "C" using WINAVR ( AKA AVRGCC) over at AVRFREAKS webpage.
You'll learn to program the AVR in a more typical "embedded" way versus the nice and easy way we Arduino users do it.
You could even use the ARDUINO board with AVRGCC but the whole PIN thing you are used to is sort of... gone. You are back to using the pins as they are described on the DAtASHEET from ATMEL.
We need to write a forum bot that takes the text from any new post, runs it through google, and posts a response with the top 5 hits.
The name of this sub-forum is "Frequently-Asked-Questions", Seems like if one doesn't want to see the same questions over and over again, that they would skip over reading this section. Maybe we need a subforum named, "Questions Rarely Asked"
Hi cr0sh.
I am beginning to take the tack of not responding to these easily answerable questions;
don't worry thats normal. This got me earlier (~500 postings), but life goes on... now I rarely answer to a post that is not concerned with either a Library I wrote or is related to Linux in some.
Some of the other symptoms I was able to diagnose:
- you stop addressing the poster by name (no more Hi Joe)
- your answer is simply a link to a page where the answer was given previously
- can't decicde wether its worth the effort to sign your post with some greetings or your name
But :
On every other forum I know the FAQ section is moderated and read-only. That way a new user can have a look at whats being asked earlier and we would have a chance to say "see FAQ".
This would be a nice to have feature, but is also very much work so I'm not seriously asking for it.
But what I'm curious about why Grumpy Mike is immune to this. After more than 6000 postings he even cares about cross-posting.
I think its about time to say :
Thank you Mike! You are doing a great job for the community!

hi crosh, that was some rant! it gave me flash backs of when i used to argue with my ex girlfriend ( boy was she a bitch!)
anyway if you do the maths you wasted more time gettin all raged up than it did for "grumpy"_mike to reply. a tad counter-active imo.
I thanked mike for his reply and hopefully someday will be able to return the favour.
my advice would be dont feel obliged to answer, as you said you willing invited yourself. I wish you well in your future crusades!
ps. does anyone know what a PID is?

Not rage. Disappointment.
btw - your words speak a lot; thank you for writing.

I really love this one

That would definitely confuse the hell outta people if we set up estranged's system...
surely you cant be disappointed in me. you dont even know me. if your disappointed in the human race....your too young to carry that burdon!
niceone eberhand ;D
surely you cant be disappointed in me.
I suppose I have higher expectations of people; I keep forgetting that we let AOL users join the internet...
;D
you dont even know me.
I know enough about you from your words. My opinion so far may change as time goes by, so please, keep talking.
if your disappointed in the human race....your too young to carry that burdon!
Actually, I am very disappointed in the human race, on many levels. What could be achieved via cooperation rather than struggle, for instance, would dwarf everything that has so far occurred on this planet. The fact that we haven't destroyed ourselves (yet), though, does give me hope.
This, however, isn't the forum to discuss these issues, so I won't say any more on the topic (perhaps bar/sport would be a better forum).
When I was younger I stuck a fork insde a wall outlet... What I'd it do???
