Official MPGuino preassembled now available

[nanhi99]

Hi Jellybean I tried to get circuit from local Delhi & I got few things now I am trying to build My own mpguino but without help from you people it would be impossible, I hope to receive my board & lcd tomorrow after that I will need help from you guys ,also here in India we get Kms /liter so can I get kms/ltr calculation? If yes how? can you also tell as how to program arduino 328
Thanx

I'm not sure how to do it with the board you purchased. I'm programming my chips in my own board using Atmel's AVR studio program and an AVRISP MKII programmer.

The 0.86 code can be set to display metric units.

hi board is with ftdi 232 chip with usb connectivity

Emails recieved. Can't wait to get the product. On another note. I just got my DDM tuning HID kit in the mail, hooked it all up, and only one side enters high beam mode...
guess im gonna have to make a few calls.

hi need a circuit for pcb layout
can you people tell as how to connect lcd to arduino duemilanove for mpguino

[nanhi99]

jellybean do you ship programmed chip also?

Sorry, I don't have experience with that board. Also I think (?) the bootloader doesn't work with the latest code with the 20Mhz oscillator?

I can. Not sure how small the box will get as it still needs to be big enough for the label. I'll PM you when I find a box and see what it weighs with a chip.

hi the board is arduino duemilanove can it be used for mpguino
thanx in advance

That is the same arduino board I have but I only used it to program chips using the ICSP header pins. Now that I have my own board and header, I no longer use the Duemilanove.

The version 0.86 MPGuino code uses a 20Mhz crystal. The Arduino's use a 16Mhz, so you'll need to change it. I think all the other pins on the chip are available on the board so yes you can build an MPGuino with it but you're on your own. Refer to the schematics here
http://opengauge.googlecode.com/svn/...no/mpguino.png
and the code here
http://opengauge.googlecode.com/svn/...no/mpguino.cpp
which you will need to compile.

Here is the post where the changes in 0.86 are listed.

Also here that talks about the crystal freq change.
