installing an arduino bootloader

One thing that can happen with cheap arduino clones is that they sometimes come without a bootloader installed.

Fortunately it's not too hard to install yourself.

Here's a couple of methods - one that is easier (in my experience) than the other.

Feel free to comment on my mistakes in the convenient comment section below.

It's probably not the best way to do it.

But it's how I do it.
