Ardweeny:

Use the Arduino IDE for the. “Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328”. (Newer models come with the Ardunio Optiboot bootloader, so select "Arduino UNO").
Note: might have to pull the ardweeny out from the board before uploading a program. was not able to do it with the antistatic foam on the pins.
Note: when programming the Ardweeny, make sure no ftdi is connected to the serial port, else was getting error "avrdude stk500_getsync not in sync resp 0x00"

//Blink - Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.
//
void setup() {             
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // init the hardwired pin13 LED as output  
}
//
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // set the LED on
  delay(1000);           // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW); // set the LED off
  delay(1000);           // wait for a second
}

Also, the Ardweeny can be mounted into the socket of a standard 328-based Arduino board, and use the board to program the Ardweeny. Handy for when you need to reburn a boot-loader, or you're short on FTDI adapters.

ATmega328 with Arduino Optiboot (Uno):

An ATmega328 in DIP package, pre-loaded with the Arduino Optiboot (Uno 16MHz) Bootloader. This will allow you to use Arduino code in your custom embedded project without having to use an actual Arduino board. From the Arduino IDE, select "Arduino Uno" as the board.

To get this chip working with Arduino IDE, you will need an external 16MHz crystal or resonator, a 5V supply, and a serial connection. If you are not comfortable doing this, we recommend purchasing the Arduino Uno board that has all of these built into the board.

Atmel's ATMega328 8-Bit Processor in 28 pin DIP package. It's like the ATmega168, with double the flash space. 32K of program space. 23 I/O lines, 6 of which are channels for the 10-bit ADC. Runs up to 20MHz with external crystal. Package can be programmed in circuit. 1.8V to 5V operating voltage!

Note: This contains the bootloader used on the Arduino Uno, with small modifications to work more reliably with different serial connection options (mainly the FTDI). Check the Sparkfun link below for more information.

Minimal Connections:

This circuit is using a 16MHz ceramic resonator (with built in capacitors) from Sparkfun. Might have to use a 16MHz crystal and capacitors, if more accurate timing is required.

To program it, use the Sparkfun FTDI Breakout Board. The headers in the circuit above are setup to match the header from this particular board. The board is set to provide 5V power. When programming, supply power through the FTDI board Vcc header (and remove other power sources so that this is the only source powering the ATMega). For the bootloader that came with this micro, set the Arduino IDE for the UNO board.

This is a board that I made to help program these chips. I tend not to do in-circuit programming, preferring to pull out the chip from the project, program it on this board, and then put it back.

Programming ATTinys using the Arduino:

This is from the MIT High Low Tech lab.

Extend the Arduino IDE:

Was running the Arduino IDE 1.0.1 on 32-bit Linux Mint
Downloaded attiny-master from https://github.com/damellis/attiny/archive/master.zip
Got the sketchbook location from File -> Preferences -> Sketchbook location. Moved the attiny folder inside that to /home/nr/sketchbook/hardware.

Now, on restarting the Arduino IDE, could see support for the ATTiny chips under Tools -> Board

Set the Arduino as an ISP:
