DIY KIT 17- DIY ZIF Arduino programmer

It is just another ‘build your own Arduino’ project. BuildCircuit has worked on similar projects before. The most popular project is a DIY Arduino kit. The DIY Arduino looks similar to the real Arduino boards and uses an FTDI basic programmer to program the chips.

 

See all the good images of the kit. 

The kit that we are going to work on this article is also a DIY Arduino. It comes with a zero insertion force (ZIF) IC socket. You can simply insert an Arduino chip and program it. The board has a header to connect an FTDI basic module that can be used to program the Arduino chip.

I received these components from my supplier. It has everything to build the ZIF Arduino programmer.

Step 1: Solder all the resistors first. There are 3 resistors.

Step 2: Solder the 2pcs of 22pF ceramic capacitors.

 

Step 3: Solder the 16Mhz crystal oscillator

 

Step 4: Solder all the 104 ceramic capacitors.

 

Step 5: Solder the reset switch

 

Step 6: Solder all the given 3mm LEDs

 

Step 7: Solder the 6 pin male header for FTDI

 

Step 8: Solder all the male headers. These male headers give access to analog and digital ports of Arduino chip. And the J4 header is for connecting FTDI basic module.

 

Step 9- Solder the 6 pin ICSP header

 

Step 10- Solder the female USB type-B socket

 

Step 11- Solder ZIF socket and insert ATmega328P
