Building a stand-alone AVR ATMEGA project sometimes leaves you with no easy to read output from your project. But you can use an Arduino to act as a communications bridge between your embedded project and your PC’s Serial Monitor program! I’m building an embedded multi-channel thermocouple reader/datalogger, which has a lot of connections and soldering,

Somewhat similar to PIC 12f675 mini protoboard, but extended and with additional boards. Using attiny2313. Step 1 Scheme Let us first start with a scheme. The scheme is pretty obvious since it only connects attiny2313 with the pins and the only additional elements are resistors and capacitor for reseting the microcontroller. Step 2 Bottom view

So you may have been playing with Arduino’s, or rather, Hackduino’s. If you made your own Hackduino or similar project, you may be wondering how to add the ICSP header. Basically, using the ICSP header will allow you to use an external programmer to ‘upload’ software to your MCU (microcontroller unit). This will work for
