Programming Meggy Jr RGB
Meggy Jr RGB can be programmed through the Arduino
development environment (available at http://arduino.cc/ ), for
which we recommend using the USB-TTL cable from Step 1.
This cable connects to J2 as shown at right, with the green-
wire end to the side marked “GRN” on the circuit board and the
black-wire end to the side marked “BLK” on the circuit board.
An Arduino environment library with example code is available,
or-- if you want to start from scratch, you can start by looking at
the circuit diagram and go from there.
The ATmega168 microcontroller can also be programmed
through a standard AVR ISP programmer and the AVR-GCC
toolchain, if you would rather go that way.
