When ever I select write all in pony prog for the $50 robot its says missing or unknown device Ive checked what admin said to do and it didn't make any difference. Could it be that I dont have the microcontroller pushed into to the dip socket enough? Or have i Shocked one of my components?

make sure you dont have any short circuits using a digital multimeter anywhere and that your micro controller is getting at least 5 volts constantly. Also make sure that everything thats supposed to be connected is connected correctly and such.

trumpkin i was wondering if you fixed your problem because im having the same trouble with my bot
-
Unfortunatley I haven't had time to try to fix it. Please tell me what you did if you get yours to work!
-
I'm so frustrated right now with my microcontroller! >:( >:( >:(
-
I checked all the connections and didn't find anything. :'(
-
im in the same boat.....
-
I think I might have just not plugged in the microcontroller all the way into the dip socket. I'm using the usb to serial convereter i checked in the ponyprog interface set up and could not find any thing for usb What are you supposed to do??
-
I checked my battery voltage and it's like 3 volts hopefully that and pressing the microcontroller into the dip circuit will fix my problem.
-
Can somebody please tell me how your supposed to setup ponyprog when using a usb to serial converter? :P

according to this you can't use a usb to serial converter with ponyprog :'( http://ponyprog.sourceforge.net/phorum/read.php?2,22

im not sure but I've seen a problem like that happening with a PIC programmer of mine ( USB to serial did not work)
I went ahead and got a USB programmer
the only solution I've seen to this is to make a virtual serial port using Bluetooth and then connect the programmer to the Bluetooth
My advice : get yourself a USB programmer
-
I still can't get it to work and I really don't want to spend any more money airman. :P :-\ >:( :'(
-
think of it as an investment for the future
also the USB programmer programs in seconds.....
