Atmega168 ((Pre-Programmed Chip))

just a small enquiry into the Atmega168.

you says its Pre-Programmed!

doed this mean that any Atmega168 from any random store wont work and i need to order one from you.

i have a ATMEGA168-20PU MCU chip (not pre-programmed) laying about, will that work all the same?

Nonono, it being pre-programmed just means that you don’t have to program it yourself… because, you know, we do it for you.
If you buy a chip from another store, it’s not going to have the same firmware on it, so you will have to program it. You can find the firmware here

ok thank you for your reply bud.

i just thought you may have added a little bit of LM magic but as this only relates to the firmware ill continue to program. i did try to add the firmware alittle while ago and it wouldnt load. once i attched power the Lynxterm spat out lots of strange symbles and santax iv never seen before.

after looking over the jumpers and pins i noticed the Led was not lit so i will get a new 9v bat tomorrow and try again. that my have been the fualt.

thanx!
