Resetting a microcontroller puts in a state of accepting commands from the programmer Arduino. On the Programmer-Arduino, pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 are used as data pins. The configurations are as follows:. The 5v and ground pins can be connected from the Programmer Arduino. It is essential to connect reference ground of both Arduinos to avoid experiencing glitches as well as maintaining safety.
In-circuit serial programming ICSP is the ability of a microcontroller to be programmed without disconnecting from the circuitry. Connect pins 11, 12, and 13 of the target Arduino with pins 11, 12, and 13 of your programmer Arduino. See Figure 4. After wiring everything in the above, you need to define that you are using the Programmer mode from your host PC.
See Figure 5. For example, chip frequency and clocking source are defined in fuses. Microcontrollers are sensitive to operating voltage, and if the voltage level drops below a defined level, the microcontroller may malfunction. The minimum operating voltage is also defined inside fuses. The above steps are essential if a Programmer-Arduino is to be configured so that it is compatible with the Arduino IDE for direct sketch uploading.
The first step is to set the programmer Arduino as ISP. In this example code, you can see many comments which will guide you through setting out different parameters.
This code also supports three LEDs which are used to check the operation of the process. For example, the middle LED indicated if there is an error in programming. The next step is to burn the bootloader. To do this, you can go to the Tools tab and select burn bootloader. This little usually bytes piece of code is called the "Bootloader" and it is in an area of the memory of the microcontroller - at the end of the address space - that can't be reprogrammed as a regular sketch and had been designed for such purpose.
To program the bootloader and provide to the microcontroller the compatibility with the Arduino Software IDE you need to use an In-circuit Serial Programmer ISP that is the device that connects to a specific set of pins of the microcontroller to perform the programming of the whole flash memory of the microcontroller, bootloader included. The ISP programming procedure also includes the writing of fuses: a special set of bits that define how the microcontroller works under specific circumstances.
The whole process of loading the bootloader code and burning properly the fuses to make an ATmega microcontroller an "Arduino" is managed by the Arduino Software IDE : it provides a specific menu item and allows you to use a variety of programming devices. Please note that the Rev. That is why many tutorials instruct you to hook up the target to these pins. This will work even when not using an Uno. With the Uno board this is not needed. In the picture above we are connecting two UNO boards for bootloader burning with the "old style" connections: the top board is the Target, the bottom board is the Programmer.
The capacitor has to be placed after the programmer board has been loaded with the ISP sketch. Boards like Leonardo, Esplora and Micro, with the USB directly managed by the microcontroller, don't need the capacitor.
The Arduino family of boards includes 5V and 3. When using an Arduino that is not 5V tolerant Due, Zero, A simple way to accomplish this is to power the complete system programmer and target at 3V3. As described above, everything runs on 3.
We have used the same colors for the wires as in the other pictures to help you switch from the "old wiring" to the ICSP connector with ease.
Note: Please do not connect to USB or power supply the boards while you set up the connections and wires. We also suggest that you first program the Arduino used as ISP programmer before you proceed with the wiring to the target board. The Arduino that you will use as programmer needs a specific sketch.
