See the datasheets for more info ) The new value is 0xA0. The lower 4 bits and bits 6 and 7, need to be programmed to 0. The lfuse contains the bits that need to be changed in order to select the external oscillator as the clock source. The processor fuses that we are interested in are labeled lfuse and hfuse. The LED wiring was the most complicated part of that project.Īfter uploading the ArduinoISP sketch in the normal way, a 10uF at 10v or more capacitor needs to be fitted between RESET and GND, this prevents the processor from being reset when used as a programmer for the UNO or Mega, or any other device you choose. The diagram shows the recommended circuit and the connections from the NANO to the Mega, as an example. See my previous post for details of a NANO version. A UNO or NANO with 328p processor would be suitable of course. The processor needs to be at least a 328.

Not having an ISP programmer I constructed a simple device using an Arduino Pro Mini, running the ArduinoISP sketch that is found in the Arduino EXAMPLES folder. It is powered from the 5v and GND connections on the Mega that are conveniently nearby. This is the solder pad nearest the Mega I/O terminal strip, and furthest from the chip itself. The output of the module connects to Xtal1 on the Atmega 2560 chip. I had already carefully removed the ceramic resonator from a MEGA clone and fitted a 28MHz crystal and capacitors, I later replaced the crystal with a 22MHz oscillator module. On my laptop this is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\ This dll file is buried inside the Arduino installation.

Install the software and place a copy of libusb0.dll into the same folder. This is not the friendliest utility and a quick search of the internet produced a GUI version called AVRDUDESS, which I find so much easier to use, rather than the command line version. This will need to be done using an ISP device and a program such as AVRDUDE.EXE. The Arduino CANNOT modify its own fuses via the IDE. The 28.224 MHz crystal experiment would not work in the MEGA !Īn external ‘canned’ oscillator can also be used as the clock source, but the Arduino ‘fuses’ will need to be programmed in order to tell the processor which clock source to use. Then the sketch can be uploaded with the new setup. Ultimately the sketch can be developed at 16MHz, and the crystal and board selection finally changed when debugging is complete. I found this to work without any problems, other than the inconvenience of changing the crystal too often. Sketch transfer still needs to be at the original 16MHz, ( hence the socket ) using the original 16MHz UNO board selection and correct COM port. The new ‘board’ will appear in the Arduino IDE under the TOOLS menu drop down, after restarting the IDE. Rename every parameter including the name entry. Just cut, paste and edit the existing Uno entry. Alternatively, create a complete new entry with a unique name, such as ‘Uno_28MHz’. You need to change the build.f_CPU= 16000000L to whatever value your crystal is, 282240000L in my case. This can be resolved by editing the ‘boards.txt’ file in the Arduino\hardware\arduino path.

The can type crystal will have these on the Arduino board already.Īrduino IDE Serial monitor is compromised due to the incorrect clock frequency in relation to the baud rate. Also, if your UNO has a ceramic resonator ( much more difficult, but not impossible to work with ) you will need to add a ceramic capacitor of 22pF, from each crystal leg to ground. It will more than likely oscillate at 1/3rd of the Marked frequency. The crystal needs to be a fundamental type, as the Arduino internal oscillator will not function correctly with an overtone crystal, such as a 27MHz RC type. ( this frequency produces meaningful baud rates with integer division) This is the highest frequency fundamental crystal that I have. Experimenting with a couple of odd crystals that I have, I discovered, with some surprise, that the Uno will work OK, up to 28.224MHz. This gives the correct spacing for a HC-49 size crystal can. I removed the crystal and fitted a 3 pin socket with the centre pin removed. This type of Arduino build is the easiest to modify as will become apparent. Since I have a spare UNO, and it has a ‘thro hole’ crystal, I decided to experiment with that. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that overclocking the Arduino is quite popular. Having the need for a faster processor in order to speed up my touchscreen TFT response, I wondered if it was possible to make the Arduino Mega run with a faster crystal.
