I am beginner to electronics and arduino programming, now I am trying to make a home made Arduino based on some youtube videos, I have completed the powering section and arranged the components as they told successfully on breadboard. Next I would like to flash the bootloader to my chip 'atmega-328p' via 'Arduino NG atmega-8' board. The problem is when I gave power from Arduino NG board, it is getting power off and atmega-328p chip on breadboard getting overheat.

  • from pin10(arduino)to pin1(breadboard)
  • from 11 to pin17
  • from 12 to pin18
  • from 13 to pin19
  • from 5v to pin20(power)
  • from gnd to pin22(power)

Is there any ways to ensure the chip is damaged? – Aboo Sidhu May 14 at 7:36
    
@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams is there any way to ensure the chip is damaged? – Aboo Sidhu May 14 at 8:25
    
@AbooSidhu, the 328P shouldn't heat up. Did you check the voltages? – Paul May 14 at 8:28
