Loading bootloader and sketches to an ATMega328P

An Essay by Elijah
Setup:
1. Load "ArduinoISP version 04m3" from github as a sketch onto an Arduino Uno using Arduino IDE.
2. Put the shield on the Uno.
3. Look under >Tools of the IDE and go to >Programmer and select >Arduino as ISP.
4. It is now ready for bootloading and programming.

Bootloading:
1. Insert the chip with pin1 next to the lever of the ZIF socket and lock it in place.
2. >Tools and click on >Burn Bootloader.
3. You'll see some LEDs flash and hear some beeps.
4. It will tell you if the bootloader was successfully installed at the bottom of the screen of the IDE.

Loading a sketch:
1. Open your sketch
2. Insert the chip with pin1 next to the lever of the ZIF socket and lock it in place.
3. Look under >Sketch of the IDE and click on >Upload Using Programmer.
4. After some flashing LED's and a beep, the IDE will show that the sketch was uploaded to the chip.

5. DO NOT CLICK ON >Upload. If you do you'll be programming the Uno and not the chip
6. You will have to reinstall "Open Smart ISP” back on the UNO.

Notes:
1. Buy the ATMega328p- NOT THE ATMega328-. Buy without bootloader
2. The programmer is here: https://www.amazon.com/Ximimark-Burning-Bootloader-Programmer-Arduino/dp/
