Program your arduinos without the need of a computer.
* Only program the programmer once with Arduino IDE.
* Save the sketch to the SD card.
* Press the ok button.
* Green LED indicates successful flash.
- This is a shield for the Arduino Mega (not included)
- A micro SD card is required to operate (not included)
Package includes:
- 1 Standalone programmer shield
- 1 6pin ribbon cable.
The standalone Arduino Programmer can program many atmel chip in stand alone mode which means it does not need a computer to operate. This is very useful for automating the programming of large number of chips.
This product is a shield for the Arduino Mega.
You will need to program the Arduino Mega only once with a computer then the programmer will be stand-alone and only need connection with a power source.
The principle is:
- Program the Arduino Mega with the sketch provided below.
- Flash the target sketch on a SD card
- Insert the SD card / Connect the mega to the power supply.
- Connect the shield to the target device with the 6 pin cable.
- Press OK on the shield.
- Target is now programmed.
Features
- Onboard Micro SD card.
- 3 operation LED (work / ok / error).
- 3 operation button.
- 6 pin SPI connection to target.
- Additional GPIO pins available for expansion.
- Provision for use of a small LCD screen.
Usage
Preparing the programmer
- Compile the target sketch on Arduino IDE.
- Locate the produced hex file.
- Copy it to the SD card.
- Rename the file as 'firmware'hex'.
- Insert the SD card in the programmer.
