Signal : 6-Pin : 10-Pin : I/O : Description----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VCC : 2 : 2 : - : Power is delivered from the target boardGND : 6 : 3,4,6, 8,10 : - : GroundMOSI : 4 : 1 : O : Commands and data from AVRISP to target AVRMISO : 1 : 9 : I : Data from target AVR to AVRISPSCK : 3 : 7 : O : Serial Clock, Controlled by AVRISPRESET : 5 : 5 : O : Reset. Controlled by AVRISP
If there is no pull-up resistor on the line, i.e. if the AVRISP mkII detects 0V on reset, then the status LED will blink orange. If the pull-up resistor on the reset line is to strong, the short circuit protection will trigger when the reset is forced low by the AVRISP mkII. The Reset line should not have a stronger pull up than 4.7k ohm. Any de-coupling capacitor should not be larger than 10uF.
Anyway when I plug it in and turn on the power on my board the light flashes orange. This means one of 2 things
What is a pull-up resistor? and why should I have one on the line?
with pin 1 being on the bottom left.
Could it be a software problem?
Airman he wasnt talking about the jack that it plugs into He was pointing out the fact that the orientation bump (I dont even know what its called, I just know its so it gets plugged in the right way) is on the outside relative to the ribbon rather than on the inside as depicted in the diagramHeres why:The side that has the bump on the OUTSIDE relative to the bump is the part that connects to the header on your ROBOT. The side with the bump in the INSIDE relative to the bump is the part that connects to the header inside the PROGRAMMER. making sure to line up pin 1 on the programmer header with the pin 1 ribbon wire (The red one)Did I get your question right, Kirit? I popped open my programmer just to make sure I was right with what I said up there too Hope this helped!
