## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA462:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA462:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

## Description

This shield kit pack will allow you to turn any Arduino into an AVR chip burner! It is specifically designed for people who want to program Atmega328P's to turn them into Arduino bootloader chips using an AVR-ISP sketch, but it can also be used to make a 'standalone' AVR ISP programmer - so that you can program blank chips **without** a computer! Adafruit use this set up in the shop to program chips for Adafruit's kits. **Adafruit even include a blank ATmega328P DIP chip** so you can get to programming immediately!

If you want to program Arduino bootloaders onto chips, using the IDE, check out Adafruit's simple tutorial which shows how to solder up the kit and the sketch for bootloading
If you want to create a stand-alone AVR ISP programmer, Adafruit have a tutorial for that as well Note that this is a little more challenging to set up than the first tutorial above, because you'll need to paste in the HEX file, and set up the standalone programmer for your specific code. It's best used by advanced microcontroller geeks who are comfortable with looking up fuse settings!

Comes with:

- [Adafruit Proto Shield for Arduino Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-proto-shield-for-arduino-kit-stackable-version-r3.html)
- 28 pin, 0.3" ZIF socket
- Piezo beeper
- **Blank ATmega328P chip** - ready for you to mess around with, program, and reprogram!

You'll also need some solid core wire for the connections, soldering tools and basic hand tools. An [Arduino](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino-uno-r3-atmega328-assembled.html) is not included, you'll need one to plug the shield into, and a [USB cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-cable-standard-a-b-3-ft-1m.html) to program it as well.
