Modify Arduino Nano to use mega328PB

#1 · October 17, 2024, 4:59 pm

How can I modify the Arduino Nano to use the atmega328PB chip - as it is used on some cheap clones to enable simulation of the additional features - like the additional HW-Timers 3 & 4 ....
Or is it easier to build a new Block my own and use a mega328PB ?

Hi.

You can modify or create a new one if copy and rename the files at simulide/data/arduino/Nano

Open the subcircuit in Simulide: simulide/data/arduino/Nano/Nano.sim1
There you edit the circuit:
- Change the chip.
- Right-click in the package and click in "Select Exposed Components", then click in the atmega328PB chip (it will get yellow).
- Save the circuit.

If you create a new one you should add it to simulide/data/arduinos.xml
