Arduino notes

by Hoang-Long Cao and Raphael Furnemont

PCB design

If you use the Arduino Uno model, do not forget to make a 5-pin connection (RX,TX,RESET,VCC,GND) so that you can program your microcontroller from another Arduino board.
If you take the Arduino Leonardo model, have to make ISP connector (2x3) and USB connector. Then, you can program your microcontroller by using USB connection with your computer.

Programming

Burn bootloader to your new microcontroller: Follow this tutorial Using an Arduino as an AVR ISP (In-System Programmer)
Depending on the Arduino model you take, you can program your microcontroller by:
- Serial communication with another Arduino: Uploading Using an Arduino Board
- USB communication with your computer.
