Datasheet

Connect the Blue (CTS) wire to the MISO pin (Arduino pin 11)

Start up the IDE and select the COM port of the FTDI friend

Make sure you have the right Board selected, for whatever you want to burn. Then select

Burn Bootloader→FTDI Friend

It will take a really really long time to program the chip, about two hours!

Its taking forever because its programming very inefficiently. It takes 4 bytes to program

one byte of the AVR, and data is sent as a single bit in two USB packet, each packet takes

3 milliseconds and an AVR has 32768 bytes = 262144 bits. 262144 bits * 2 packet/bit * 3

ms/packet * 4 bytes/byte = 6291456 ms = 6300 seconds = 104 minutes! If you used a real

AVR programmer, it would take maybe 15 seconds so thats why its nice to have one.

Do this before you go to bed or watch a movie! The L (pin 13) LED will be on 'solid' while its
