Alternative Microcontroller

Post by silvrdragona »

Hi,

Great job with the website. Thanks for taking the time to organize and post up detailed instructions. I especially appreciate the pictures and parts list!

The USBtinyISP programmer will be my first microcontroller project. I have a ATmega16 available. Is it possible to replace the ATtiny2313 with the atmega instead?

Do I need to modify anything with the code or can I just load the hex file onto it?

Thanks!

If I recall correctly, the Mega16 is a completely different pinout from the Tiny2313.

Also, the code will not be compatible. It should be (relatively) easy to port, but you'll need to recompile and (likely) change a few register and pin definitions.
