An Arduino core for ATmega8535, ATmega16, ATmega32, ATmega164, ATmega324, ATmega644 and ATmega1284, all running a Optiboot. Most Arduino UNO compatible libraries will work with this core. If not, it's fairly straight forward to port a library.This core requires at least Arduino IDE v1.6, where v1.8.7 or newer is recommended.
If you're into 'generic' AVR programming, I'm happy to tell you that all relevant keywords are being highlighted by the IDE through a separate keywords file. Make sure to test the example files (File > Examples > AVR C code examples). If you're looking for a great development board for these DIP-40 microcontrollers, I got you covered! I've used the Arduino UNO for years,but felt like vital functionality was missing on the board. When designing this board I made sure all missing functionality was added. The board can be bought on my Tindie store. Read more in the hardware section below.
Supported microcontrollers
Correct wiring Arduino Uno and GT2560 to install bootloader. Diy-3d-printer geeetech arduino. You can see all the pins used at this moment and a little better in this moment. Note that the revision 3e of the genuine Arduino Uno uses a different setup on the left than the model in the video: instead of 2nd (5V) and 6th (GND) pin-hole on the.
* All variants - P, PA, A, PB. Select the correct version in the 'Variant' menu
Can't decide what microcontroller to choose? Have a look at the specification table below:
* Babylon 8 crack internet. ATmega324PB has 3 serial ports, 9 PWM pins and 39 IO pins if internal oscillator is used.
Supported clock frequencies
MightyCore supports a variety of different clock frequencies. Select the microcontroller in the boards menu, then select the clock frequency. You'll have to hit 'Burn bootloader' in order to set the correct fuses and upload the correct bootloader.
Make sure you connect an ISP programmer, and select the correct one in the 'Programmers' menu. For time critical operations an external crystal/oscillator is recommended.
You might experience upload issues when using the internal oscillator. It's factory calibrated but may be a little 'off' depending on the calibration, ambient temperature and operating voltage. If uploading failes while using the 8 MHz internal oscillator you have these options:
Bootloader option
MightyCore lets you select which serial port you want to use for uploading. UART0 is the default port for all targets, but ATmega324/644/1284 can also use UART1 for upload.If your application doesn't need or require a bootloader for uploading you can also choose to disable it by selecting No bootloader.This frees 512 bytes of flash memory on ATmega8535/16/32/164/324 and 1024 bytes on ATmega644/1284.
Note that you have need to connect a programmer and hit Burn bootloader if you want to change any of the Bootloader settings.
BOD option
Brown out detection, or BOD for short lets the microcontroller sense the input voltage and shut down if the voltage goes below the brown out setting. To change the BOD settings you'll have to connect an ISP programmer and hit 'Burn bootloader'. Below is a table that shows the available BOD options:
Link time optimization / LTO
Link time optimization (LTO for short) has been supported by the IDE since v1.6.11. The LTO optimizes the code at link time, making the code (often) significantly smaller without making it 'slower'. In Arduino IDE 1.6.11 and newer LTO is enabled by default. I've chosen to disable this by default to make sure the core keep backward compatibility. Enabling LTO in IDE 1.6.10 and older will return an error.I encourage you to try the new LTO option and see how much smaller your code gets! Note that you don't need to hit 'Burn Bootloader' in order to enable LTO. Simply enable it in the 'Tools' menu, and your code is ready for compilation. If you want to read more about LTO and GCC flags in general, head over to the GNU GCC website!
Here's some raw numbers. These sketches were compiled for an ATmega1284 using Arduino IDE 1.6.12 (avr-gcc 4.9.2).
Pinout
This core has three different pinout options:

pins_arduino.h ) files for detailed info. Pick your favorite!Click to enlarge:
Programmers
MightyCore adds its own copies of all the standard programmers to the 'Programmer' menu. You must select the MightyCore copy of the programmer you are using for 'Upload Using Programmer' to work with ATmega1284, ATmega324A, ATmega324PB, or ATmega164A.
Write to own flash
MightyCore implements @majekw's fork of Optiboot, which enables flash writing functionality within the running application. This means that content from e.g. a sensor can be stored in the flash memory directly, without the need of external memory. Flash memory is much faster than EEPROM, and can handle about 10 000 write cycles.
Please check out the Optiboot flasher example for more info about how this feature works, and how you can try it on your MightyCore compatible microcontroller. How to installBoards Manager Installation
This installation method requires Arduino IDE version 1.6.4 or greater.
Manual Installation
Click on the 'Download ZIP' button. Extract the ZIP file, and move the extracted folder to the location '~/Documents/Arduino/hardware'. Create the 'hardware' folder if it doesn't exist.Open Arduino IDE, and a new category in the boards menu called 'MightyCore' will show up.
ATmega324PB
If you plan to use the ATmega324PB you need the latest version of the Arduino toolchain. This toolchain is available through IDE 1.8.6 or newer. https://verigreat.weebly.com/emperor-of-the-fading-suns-hyperion-patch.html. Here's how you install/enable the toolchain:

Wiring reference
To extend this core's functionality a bit futher, I've added a few missing Wiring functions. As many of you know Arduino is based on Wiring, but that doesn't mean the Wiring development isn't active. These functions are used as 'regular' Arduino functions, and there's no need to include an external library.
I hope you find this useful, because they really are! Function list

(I have a Sparkfun RedBoard, but this question seems to apply to R3 Unos and Uno-compatible boards.) As I was building the first circuit in my SIK guidebook (add a resistor, LED, hook it up and make it blink from code), I noticed a blue LED on the board itself did everything that the circuit's LED did - blinking according to the programming.
Why is this LED here? What use cases is it for?
What kind of circuits will I have to adjust to account for this LED?
Is pin 13 traditionally a debug or a troubleshooting pin? Where did this convention come from?

The LED on pin 13 is used by the optiboot loader (the one used on UNO):
I haven't checked other bootloaders, they may provide the same behavior as the optiboot.
For optiboot, there are optional defines (at compile time) to modify this behavior:
These defines are explained in
hardware/arduino/bootloaders/optiboot/optiboot.c from within your Arduino IDE install directory.
If you want to change these, you will have to recompile the optiboot loader first and then burn it to your Arduino through an ISP programmer.
I guess one other reason for the LED on pin 13 was to simplify the demonstration of the 'Hello World' sketch for Arduino, namely the jfpoilpretjfpoilpret
Blink sketch, without the need for any extra component.

What kind of circuits will I have to adjust to account for this LED?
You'll need to take it into account if you're using that pin as a digital input.
NOTE: Digital pin 13 is harder to use as a digital input than the other digital pins because it has an LED and resistor attached to it that's soldered to the board on most boards. If you enable its internal 20k pull-up resistor, it will hang at around 1.7V instead of the expected 5V because the onboard LED and series resistor pull the voltage level down, meaning it always returns LOW. If you must use pin 13 as a digital input, set its pinMode() to INPUT and use an external pull down resistor. Arduino - DigitalPins

What everyone else said, plus: if you find the digital-13 LED gives you a problem, you can always remove it from the circuit, either by removing the LED, or the series resistor.
This might be useful if you are running out of digital I/Os, or you want several contiguous I/O bits and don't want one of them to behave differently from the others.

Yes, pin 13 is traditionally an output pin that drives an LED. But the blue LED should not be blinking as it is the 'power on' indicator - do you have a grunty power supply to your board?
You can experiment with PWM to the pin13 LED, which will control its apparent brightness. There are plenty of example sketches on the web.
