 ===== Setting up for programming =====
-When you buy a premade Arduino, the microcontroller comes preprogrammed with a bootloader. Your premade Arduino also has USB circuitry on it that lets you upload sketches via USB from a host computer. When making your own standalone Arduinos, you are going to need a way to to burn the bootloader onto the virgin microcontrollers, and you'll need a way to upload sketches to the Arduino after you've burned the bootloader. There are a few ways to do both these. Here's what appeals to me.

 For (temporary?) safe keeping, here's a hierarchical [[Arduino Uno subcircuit]] for incorporating a DIY-Arduino in a PCB design. It requires some of my [[https://gitlab.com/mithat/kicad-components-mfk|KiCad libraries]].
