Programming question.

Post by Visigoth » Tue Aug 25, 2009 4:25 pm

I own an Arduino Diecimila board. I just purchased an RBBB kit from Modern Device. Can I pop the ATmega168 chip into the Diecimila socket, program it, and then put it back in the RBBB kit to run? Or do I have to buy the programming cable?

That would work but I wouldn't do it too often because of the wear and tear on the IC sockets.
Or do I have to buy the programming cable?
If you go this route I would suggest the USB BUB board, USB to TTL serial adapter which more closely replicates the Arduino configuration.

Thank you. Is the clock speed different between the two?

No, the clock speeds are the same - 16 MHz. Any device that is, or claims to be, Arduino compatible must run at this speed otherwise it wouldn't really be compatible.
