Using Arduino....and am a newbie
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2017 8:09 pm
Hey , so I have an Arduino uno r3 from before and I didn't feel like buying a new chip just for a keyboard/mouse conversion etc. (I might think of buying it , just let's prove it's impossible for "me" to use the Arduino first)
Am trying to get as much information as possible before starting to mess with the board , first of all I should mention am running Ubuntu 16.04 gnome 3 as an OS. (I can dual boot to windows , I just prefer Linux for now)
For now what I know is that I should use atmel's flip tool to remove atmega328 chip and then flash at90usb162 frimware.
After that it would act like a teensy? Am really lost here tbh. Also the Arduino board already comes with a cable to connect to a computer so I don't need a serial to USB , right? So all I need is the female to male USB connecters vise versa?
Is there anything else I should know before starting this operation (am a little extra , I know ) also after I remove and flash the stuff I mentioned up there , I can revert this, right ?!
Also am not sure if this is the right section , it is a mix of support and discussion so idk.
