Arduino Default Fuse bits

Arduino Default Fuse Settings

Here are the default fuse settings for each Arduino from the boards.txt included with the Arduino development software.

To understand more about the fuse settings for your microcontroller, visit Engbedded’s AVR Fuse Calculator.

To write fuse settings, you will need a programmer with this capability. I use Mighty Ohm’s high-voltage rescue shield available here.
