Overview
he ATMEGA Project Board is designed to work with ATMEGA8. The
ATMEGA8 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR
enhanced RISC architecture. It executes powerful instructions in a single clock
cycle and achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the
system designer to optimize power consumption.
Features
Filter capacitor for brownout protection
External Oscillator circuitry equipped for connecting Crystal Oscillators
Reset switch
Standard 6-Pin ISP header for programming
I/ O Expansion headers
21 Programmable I/ O Line

Connection Details
How t o Program using ISP
The following diagram shows how to program using ISP. The
project board has 6 pin Standard ISP connector.




While Programming, its better to use External Power Source,
because USB port can only supply maximum current of 500mA.
