Burning Bootloader to ATmega8 Using USBasp and Arduino (Easiest Way)

Hello friends Arduino is a good friend of student, but sometimes it become complicated when we want to use ATmega8. Arduino NG comes with atmega8 but it will take 6 seconds for Turn On, but here is a solution. Just follow some steps.

(Must Use Arduino IDE 1.0.6)

1. Arduino UNO

2. ATmega8 Microcontroller

3. USBasp Programmer

4. Jumper Wire (Female to Female)

Please Watch My Video

1. Download AVRDUDESS (Link Below)
http://blog.zakkemble.co.uk/avrdudess...

2. Install Program.

3. Open Program.

4. Select USBasp from drop down menu.

5. Click detect (for detection Microcontroller)

6. Change the values of FUSE BITS as shown below.

L:0xFF

H : 0XDE

E : (empty)

LB : 0x3F

7. Click On "Write"

8. Click On "Read"

9. Select Bootloader File @ Optiboot_atmega8.hex

10. Click On Program.

11. Now ATmega8 is Bootloaded.

1. Copy this

2. Goto Arduino@Hardware@Arduino and open Boards.txt

3. Paste copied data at the end.

4. Save and close file

1. Open Arduino (Must Use Arduino IDE 1.0.6)

2. Select Board (Arduino Optiboot-Atmega8-16)

3. Upload the code
