Designing own development board for atmega-16

[prajwal]

Hello friends,

 

I want to make my own board for atmega-16 controller to carry out projects. I have a bit of experience making PCB’s. I tried a schematic on bread board and succeeded. But the problem is i tried to blink an LED using atmega 16. But the LED blinks very slowly though im trying to blink it every second. Can anyone tell what could be the problem. Im using atmega-16 with 16MHz external crystal.

Hi Prajwal,

If the LED is glowing, then there is no problem with the hardware. Try to reduce the delay in your code.

You may also need to set a few fuse bits corresponding to the CPU frequency division.
