Bootloading the Atmega8 and Adding Code to it

Step 1: Using *this* Arduino with the attachment, place the atmega 8 and open the optiLoader.ino that
is found in the Olaunch Github.









Step 2: Type G or press the reset on the Arduino for each chip that is being bootloaded. You should see
the following text when you press the serial monitor (magnifying glass in the top right corner), and make
sure the BAUD rate is 19200 to read the text.


Step 3: Make sure the text displays this ^^^^, if it displays something other than this then the chip has
not been bootloaded properly.



Step 4: Then using this Arduino, open the code you want to load and select DIY ATmega8 from the
boards menu.










Step 5: Ensure that the code has uploaded when it displays bytes of flash verified. Often times it will
say done uploading but the board may be out of sync. Then no code has been uploaded! Also test the
chips.
