may i ask a newb question that may help me understand the bigger picture ?
when, or for what, would you use the bootloader you recommended ? i went to ebay and read the description, and am no wiser.
in my simple way of understanding, a bootloader programs a chip (i.e. an attiny) with a booting code, so that when it gets power, it starts running. just like a desktop computer. and when i want to program an attiny chip, i have to "burn" the bootloader onto my arduino uno first.
if my conception of the process is about right, why not just continue to use the arduino bootloader ? my own question makes me wonder, is it so you can burn something other than the arduino bootloader ?
just asking.
