Can someone please explain the ATMEGA situation to me

hi am I to believe the kit used to come with a preprogrammed ATMEGA which I'm guessing is some sort Of CPU

But now it comes from mouser and is blank :-/ ?

So I buy a ARDNUINO u3 board and hook it up to the yocto and flash the ATMEGA with yocto 2.0

So is that all I need to do? ..... or do I still need to load sysex ( which I'm guessing is yocto_2_0.hex ) after that

And what are the library files for ?

Is that correct ?

Cheers Ciaran

Dear Ciaran,

First check your Atmega code if it is a atmega1284-PU or atmega1284P-PU.
Then you need to burn the bootloader like describe in this topic viewtopic.php?f=17&t=436.
If you've got an Atmga1284-PU you need to modify the avrdude.conf file like that: Find the avrdude.conf file (<Arduino Dir>\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf)
Search for Atmega1284P and change line : "signature = 0x1e 0x97 0x05" to "signature = 0x1e 0x97 0x06"
Save the file, burn your atmega1284 then changed the signature back to the original 0x05.
If you got an Atmega1284P-PU you can burn the bootloader without modify anything.

Then you have to upload Yocto 2.0 Sysex File via MIDI.
