Uploading Via The Isp Socket - DAGU Playful Puppy Instruction Manual

Uploading via the ISP socket:

Since version 1.0 of the Arduino IDE it has been possible upload your programs directly to the processor using the
ISP socket. This will overwrite the bootloader making more memory available and cause your program to start
immediately on power up or reset.
To do this we need a programmer. If you have a programmer, please refer to it's instruction manual. These
instructions will explain how to use an Arduino or compatible board as the programmer.
Using the example code supplied with the Arduino IDE you can use another Arduino or Arduino compatible board as
a programmer. Go to the File menu, Examples and select ArduinoISP.
Upload this program into another Arduino or an Arduino compatible controller. This will then become your
programmer. Use jumper wires to connect your programmer to the puppy robot's ISP socket as instructed in the
programmer code.
