Summary

This Documentation is an step by step description for boot loading HoodLoader2 on to your Arduino Uno.

Requirements

Required Devices
  • Arduino Uno
  • 3x Female to Female Cable
  • 1x Male to Female Cable
  • 1X 100nF Capacitor
  • USB Cable

Background

The Arduino Uno has Two Computing units on his board. The ATMeda328P works as the Main computing unit and ATMega16U2 manages the USB Connection. Hoodlaoder2 allows to also use and program the ATMega16U2 chip. Hoodlaoder2 allows us to realize Human Interface Device Projects like a mouse or keyboard. This procedure is needed if u want to create a Arduino USB Rubber Ducky with the Arduino Uno.

Disclaimer The Hoodloader overrides the usual Bootloader and it is possible that the Arduino breaks during the process. I do not assume any liability or guarantee.

Start by downloading the Hood Loader Repository and remove all cables and accessories from your Arduino Uno Then follow the steps:

  1. Connect your Arduino to the PC with the USB cable
  2. Select the Arduino Uno Board in Tools/Board
  3. Select the Comport that is connected with your Arduino in Tools/Port
  4. Open the Installations_Sketch.ino file which can be found in HoodLoader2-master/avr/examples/Installation_Sketch
  5. Upload the sketch to your Arduino (Ctrl+U) do not worry many warnings get displayed
  6. Wait until the "Done uploading" text gets displayed.
  7. Important: Unplug your Arduino
