− | + | If your target board has a standard AVR programming header (or you can hack one together) you can still use the ISP Shield. | |
− | + | Follow the instructions above, however instead of placing a microcontroller into the ZIF socket connect the ISP Shield to the target board with either the 6 pin (2x3 DIL) ribbon cable or a 10 pin (2x5 DIL) ribbon cable. | |
− | + | If you are programming an ATmega168 your target board will need the appropriate crystal and related capacitors, although not the reset line pull-up resistor (the ISP Shield takes care of that). | |

If you are programming an ATmega328 your target board may have an appropriate crystal and related capacitors. However if you wish to use the internal oscillator instead you need to install support for an additional hardware configuration. Check the [http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoToBreadboard From Arduino to a Microcontroller on a Breadboard] tutorial by the Arduino Team - under the '''Minimal Circuit (Eliminating the External Clock)''' section there are instructions for downloading and installing the '''ATmega328 on a breadboard (8 MHz internal clock)''' hardware configuration in the Arduino IDE. Once installed, select this Board type when programming an ATmega328 on an external target board that has no crystal. | If you are programming an ATmega328 your target board may have an appropriate crystal and related capacitors.
