Easy way to Load Bootloader on Blank Atmega328/Atmega8 chip
for custom projects design, using Arduino uno has occupied more spaces, So I am using bread board arduino concept and the blank Atmega328p-PU chip is used. Normally Atmega328P-PU chip available without loading Bootloader but in some vendor has Boot loaded chip with price is high .
So I found the easy way to load boot loader on blank Atmega32P-PU chip.
in this project, USBASP converter needed, Atmega328p-PU chip,16MHz crystal,22PF capacitor - 2 nos, 10 K resistor and General PCB.
Circuit diagram included in the video.
Step1: on Arduino IDE , using board manager download Minicore
Step2 : Open ArduinoISP script from files/Examples
Step3: Select Tools/Board/Minicore/Atmega328
Step4: Select Tools/Programmer/Uspasp
Step5: Select Sketch and press upload using programmer
Step6: After done uploading, select Tools/Burn bootloader
Note : Before that using USPASP programmer ensure driver installed on your PC and check it is supported or not.
Thats all, you are successfully loaded Arduino bootloader on Blank Atmega328P-PU chip.
