Electronic Basics #6: Standalone Arduino Circuit

In this video I will show you how to use your Atmega328P without an Arduino Board.

Music:

I like this a lot, but there are two thing's I'd like to mention:

First off, you should add 100nF caps between the +5V pins and GND of the ATmega. This is something one should always do when an IC is involved, which I learned the hard way some time ago.

And then I want to mention that the Arduino IDE supports the use of an external programmer without a hitch - you only have to use the menu option "File/Upload with programmer" instead of the toolbar button when uploading your code. That approach also has the advantage of working without the Arduino bootloader which can come in handy if you have to ditch the bootloader in order to get some more free space on the chip, so I prefer ICSP to serial in my projects.

Other videos/articles make this look so difficult, but as usual, GreatScott! made a good quality, simple, easy to understand video

[FlevasGR]

This is the best video for Arduino on a breadboard.

[Mrkussn]

Simply explained, clearly detailed, very concise and really helpful. Thanks!

[alaozarmg]

I love the fact that you synced almos every take with the lights on the background with the music itself

"This is not a FTDI chip, but it does the same thing. But it's BULLSHIT!"
LMAO

[TommyBee]

i just wanna know where i can get that "gadget box"

[tpespos]

I didn’t even realize you could do this, this video alone is worth a subscribe

[alinconstantingoga]

The best professor ! Thanks for sharing and keep this good work. Subscribed !

Dude, that's no 10K resistor, that's 120 ohms!
Oh wait... nevermind, I was reading the color code backwards... or at least I think so. Damn.

In all seriousness now, if you have a 10K ohm (brown black black red brown) and a 120 ohm (brown red black black brown; same sequence as before but backwards) metal film resistor, is there any quick and easy way to tell which is which without using a multimeter?

[MarcosFPV]

I must say your videos are always very direct and detailed.

i hope you hit 1 millions subscribers wish you all luck.

Why at about 2:44 was the chip pulled off of the prototype board, and plugged into the Uno, while the Uno was on?

[isaiaschrist]

This is a great video, It really help me put together my own Arduino. I saw some of your videos and they are very easy to follow. Keep up the great work and thanks

[amalsurendran]

YOU'RE THE Couldnt figure this one out for weeks..!

[wtqrees]

all your video are great, thank you for taking the time to put together these demonstrations

[almoglavi]

I used the first method to upload simple blink sketch yet nothing work. I also add reset push button to ground and my atmega328 doesnt do anything. What can be the problem?

[sushantasarkar]

What is problem in my Atmega328P-U microcontroller. I am using external 16mhz crystal . I am using this setting 0xFF, 0xDE, 0xFD, 0xC0 and write by avrdude.
my project stuck or hang after some hour...
how to solve my problem...plz tell me

[blackhatgaming]

I am a bit too late :(.
Hope you reply....
Can I control a relay with this standalone microcontroller?

[shivakumar-lvwr]

how are you able to solder such complicated circuits on a perf board? what editor do you use to make the schematic and how do you solder components using that?.
