+Plug the USBtiny compatible in to your computer via USB. Then for each ATMEGA328P-PU you want to burn the bootloader onto:
+  - Insert the ATMEGA328P-PU into the ZIF socket and lock the latch.
   - In the IDE, select //Tools > Burn Bootloader// and wait a few seconds for the process to complete.
   - Unlock the ZIF socket and remove the ATMEGA328P-PU.
