Every time you do a new project with Arduino, do you just buy a new board or rip off your last project to reuse Arduino ? Many of us just don’t. Specially for soldered/permanent projects it’s not the way to go. Many of us make a clone of Arduino by burning bootloader on virgin Atmega328P/168/8A or Attiny45/85 AVR microcontroller. There is a nice tutorial how to do so on Arduino homepage where an existing Arduino Board is used as ISP (In System Programmer). This project is just a permanent version of that method, a permanent Arduino ISP for plug-n-play burning bootloaders.”
