You've screwed up and now the Arduino bootloader on your 'duino is gone! What are you going to do? Go spend money for a programmer??? I've got a solution that only requires your 'duino and some wires!

So its not the end of the world, it is just a minor glitch in the space-time continuum!!! In just under an hour you can have your 'duino back!*** How? Well you know those pads near the USB that have the label X3? Well those will become your programmer!!! Not everybody messes up, but this will help you if you want to put the bootloader on a new chip, or you actually do mess up. This setup can even program other AVR's using ICSP.

AVR is a micro-controller that can be used to direct the flow of electricity using software. It can be used to toggle devices, control them using Pulse-Width. Avrdude - AVRDUDE is software for programming Atmel AVR Microcontrollers. Feb 17, 2013. Hey Jon, no, AVRDUDESS is only meant to be a GUI for AVRDUDE and maybe some closely related things. Having special features that only apply to specific programmers isn't something that I want to add, especially since it needs to interface with another CLI program. You could ask the guys who deal.
