Did you know your Arduino can burn bootloaders onto Atmega chips, turning them into Arduino compatible microcontrollers? It required a breadboard and a whole mess of jumper wires but we've just made it a ton easier on you with the AVR ISP Shield!
It is very easy to use. Just following the Arduino tutorial, You can turn your Atmega chips to Arduino compatible microcontrollers or change the bootloader of the Arduino boards. Such as you can turn the Crowduino to an Arduino UNO board.

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AVR
- AVR is a family of 8-bit microcontrollers (made by Microchip, formerly Atmel) used in many classic Arduino-style boards such as the Uno and Nano. They are widely supported but older, which can be a limit for memory- or speed-intensive tasks.
- Bootloader
- Small starter software on a microcontroller that lets new code be uploaded before the main program runs. Knowing how to enter bootloader mode matters when you need to program the board or recover it after a faulty sketch.
- ISP
- In electronics, ISP usually means In-System Programming, a way to load firmware onto a microcontroller while it stays on the board (often via an ICSP header), or an Image Signal Processor, hardware that turns raw camera sensor data into usable images and offloads the main CPU. The surrounding context shows which meaning applies.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
