Firmware - Microcontrollers
How do I test my microcontroller?
Testing your microcontroller before soldering it is a good idea, as it'll prevent potentially having to desolder it later on.
Generally, you can test a microcontroller by connecting it to your computer using the appropriate cable, followed by flashing firmware to it. If that process doesn't yield any errors, then you can be reasonably sure the controller works.
