Step 7Program the Microcontroller
This can be the most daunting task if you are new to microcontrollers. The setup I use to program the microcontrollers using an AVRisp mkII to load the bootloader for an Arduino, which can be programmed over USB.
Load the program attached to this step (or in the intro) onto the microcontroller (the .hex file in the applet folder can be loaded onto the microcontroller in place of the bootloader). When burning the bootloader, set the chip to use the 8MHz internal crystal, unless you want to use an external crystal (the extra speed isn't really needed). If you do re-compile the code be sure it is at the correct clock speed for what you will be using.
Once it's programmed, put the chip into the socket on the breadboard.
