Thank you for this amazing video. I can say that you saved my life after week of failed attempts. Much love 😊😊

This video and the other one you uploaded about flashing bootloaders is great! Please make more cool arduino/atmega videos! Would love more tutorials or showcases of some of your projects/work! Keep it up!!

Really great presentation. The use of a 10mF capacitor solved my problem with FTDI!

[markrichards]

Great video straight to the point, we need to share this video.it really helped me with my project, keep up the good work.

Outstanding step by step instructions, well done!

[skmplanet]

Very clear workable tutorial. Thanks a lot

[dereksavage]

Awesome tutorial! Very helpful. Thank you so much

So you can program the chip using the UART interface as long as you have a USB-Serial adaptor. But in order to do this, you first need to have the bootloader? And the bootloader can only be uploaded using the SPI interface like in your previous video?

Hey! I loved every freaking bit of your two videos on how to program the ATmega328P chip. Wonderfully done!! I am trying to do the same thing for ATmega32u4. I have the breakout board with me and I have tried to flash it multiple times but it does not work and says that my device signature is Is there a way I can contact you or do you have any suggestions? This might be a lost cause but I truly need some help, it would be truly legendary if you reply to his, I know it has been 3 years since you uploaded this video, but help a brother out maybe ? :/

is it working with ch340? becouse I have this and it doen't work i see the diode blinking so it received data via uart but do nothing

[irzfanfarizan]

Do i need to use 10k resistor on reset pin that connected to 5v? Or can just use 5v on reset pin without resistor? Does atmega restart itself without 10k resistor?

After using it outside the arduino board (stand alone mode ), can we put it back and use it with the arduino board with no problems ?
very informative video by the way ... Thank you so much

I see you haven’t posted a video in 10 months, don’t give up as I’m sure subscribers will come.

Good video! I want to do the same. With this schematic, you can program the ATmega chip but can you also use the serial monitor for debugging a new code that you load onto the chip? Thanks.

Hi, my ttl doesn't have a DTR pin can it still work?

In Windows I’ve had a lot of problems using an FTDI FT232R adapter because the FTDI driver either “bricks” the Chinese adapter chips by setting it’s device ID to zero or renders it useless by sending junk data down the line. I have even tried to use a legacy driver and have not yet been successful. I was hoping your video would address that. It seems that you may be on a Linux system or somehow bought a genuine adapter for a zillion dollars from God knows where. Awesome video, though. Thank you. Any insight is much appreciated.

Hi it work good too less two capacitor 22p

[CIOWhitepapers]

Can this method get Serial.print statements from chip out to the Arduino IDE serial monitor?
