Reprogramming the ATMega 2560

Posted by Samuel Schweighart on May 6, 2012 at 11:09am

Hi all,

I'm interested in playing with the APM 1, and I wanted to start from scratch using AtmelStudio.  My question is, how do I reprogram the uP? Most of the uP I've worked with require some sort of tool, or access to the JTAG.  The MissionPlanner seems to be able to use the USB/serial port.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Sam

    If you're using Arduino to program, you can just use the USB connection (it has a built-in Arduino bootloader). If you want to use AVR studio, you'll need to us an AVR programmer instead.
