CANADUINO® Full-Automatic Bootloader Programmer for Arduino Atmega328P - No Computer Required!

I considered removing a star as the board shows up with zero assembly instructions. It is difficult to figure out polarized component orientation as the silk screen and instructions are no help (just requires a lot of schematic review and PCB layout guesses). As stupid as it sounds, complete assembly instructions would be nice. Does it work? Yes, and very well. This saves a lot of work and avoids the insane costs of buying a pre-loaded 328. It plays cute little songs that provide obvious cues as to what is happening.

This solved all my problems. I had been trying to burn the bootloader to a SMD version of the Atmega328p. It was a total nightmare. I have a TQFP32 adapter for the Atmega328p-AU chips. I plugged the adapter into the programmers zif socket, pressed the button and in 3 seconds the bootloader was burned onto the factory fresh Atmega328P-AU. I then put the adapter in my Arduino and clicked upload for my sketch and it worked perfectly. If I could give this product 6 stars, I would.

I got the assembled version of this product. It arrived in its anti-static pouch. It takes about 5 seconds or less to have the chip programmed. Then the chip is ready for uploading a sketch. I like products like this one. They do one thing and do it well.

This works exactly as advertised and the quality parts were easy to assemble.

As another reviewer stated, instructions are not great. The board works really fast at burning the bootloader. Assembly is not for those who have never soldered. The only other thing I would have prefered micro usb Instead of the mini usb. Micro is more available.

Never again will I buy

Makes Bootloading a breeze. Save money by buying your Atmel Mega328's without a boot loader and do it yourself quickly.

Beautiful kit with very fast shipping!

A really great time saver. Instead of setting up a breadboard and having a dedicated arduino to burn the bootloader, this simple device takes seconds. Literally. Plugged it in, put in a fresh atmega328, hit start and done. Uploaded to it right after with no issues. The quick release socket is very nice as well. Great product.

Prodotto validissimo arrivato nei tempi stabiliti carica il bootloader in un battibaleno

This works well. Pop the ATMega328 in the socket and press the button. Does not need to be connected to a pc to work as the boot Loader is strored on the programmer. 15 seconds and the job is done. No Fuss boot loader.

3 stars since item not as described. Though it does use the same chip as on some Arduino boards, those same chips are used for many other applications. I needed to program an Arduino Nano, appeared to be size that it would work for, didn’t. Product seems well made, so I assume it would work. Useless to me. Seller a challenge to deal with. Not worth cost to pay return shipping.

No problems whatsoever
