Good god damn goat balls.<\/em><\/p>\n

I finally got the bootloader onto the ATMega \u2014\u00a0thanks to a lot of trial and error and handwringing and help from ethereal beings on the Internets and KKV, and with the motors and Pololus installed I hook the PSU into the board and the LEDs are shining and \u2014 wait a minute, isn’t the processor a teensy bit too hot? Oh, let’s touch it \u2014 well whaddayaknow, it’s blistering my finger, how peculiar!<\/p>\n

As it turns out, I’ve soldered the Molex connector the wrong way around, so am feeding 5V to where I need 12V and vice versa. Which means some components are now fucked, possibly including the ATMega. I guess I ought to be grateful that none of the capacitors blew up in my face, but right now I’m just going to bed.<\/p>\n

Below are some helpful links left for future reference<\/p>\n

I found a good description for what the bootloading process is about here: http:\/\/smileymicros.com\/blog\/2011\/03\/04\/busy-as-a-beavratmega644-on-a-breadboard\/<\/p>\n

Resources on what AVR’s are: http:\/\/www.evilmadscientist.com\/article.php\/avrstuff<\/a><\/p>\n

A tutorial on what AVR programming is about, somewhat technical: http:\/\/www.ladyada.net\/learn\/avr\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Using the AVR ISP MkII as a programmer to bootload ATMegas. Relevant if I get me the programmer, but can give inside into the process: http:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/playground\/Code\/OSXISPMKII<\/a><\/p>\n

Crosspack is a complete AVR developing package, not sure how to implement the homebrewn boards there, but the bootloaders should be more or less generic, right? http:\/\/www.obdev.at\/products\/crosspack\/index-de.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Wormfood has a baud to Mhz calculator here, which I’m sure is good for something down the line: www.wormfood.net<\/a><\/p>\n

A thread started in 2006 about the process of getting the Arduino to act as an ISP, which I never succeeded in doing: Turn Arduino into an ISP programmer<\/a><\/p>\n

The schematics for my model of Arduino, the old NG, are here: arduino_NG_schematic.png<\/a> and there’s a description of most of the parts and ports here: www.arduino.cc<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not sure of what this page does but it seems handy: http:\/\/www.sengpielaudio.com\/calculator-ohm.htm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
