« on: March 07, 2009, 01:27:26 PM »
Hi

I'm totaly beginer in robotic (but i have engenier degree in electricity).

If you are using the AVR ISP MKII, you do not need ponyprog. In AVR Studio 4 there should be a button on the top toolbar that you click to program.

If you are using AVR Studio 4, there is a connect button on the lower menu bar.... it may ask you to choose a programmer then it will bring up a window which you can use to choose your atmega8 or whatever chip you are using.  Remember to select 'board' in order to set your write speed (be sure to click on 'write' after choosing speed) at 125.0 kHZ for the atmega8.

If you don't have AVR Studio 4 installed, use the disk that came with the controller to install the software as specified in the tutorial.

To use the AVR ISP MKII you need the newest version of AVR Studio (Found that out the hard way) and to select you programmer do this

Tools>Program AVR>Connect

Then select AVRISP mkII and then press connect

USB is supported.

On the second tool bar (the lower one), to the right of the text window, there are three black clickable items, click on the one marked 'con' and you should get a window which will enable you to choose your programmer.  Choose the avr isp mkII and then you will get a window with menu tabs marked 'program', 'fuses', 'lockbits', 'lockbits', 'board' & 'auto'

The 'program' tab will let you select your device, and the 'board' tab will let you select your speed.  Remember to click on 'write' after selecting your speed.  Then go back to the 'board' tab, in the box marked 'flash', to select the file you wish to upload and click on program to upload it.

Did you set the clock speed from the 'board' menu tab?

You can check with hyperterminal, whem you connect a device with USB an extra COM-port will be created , use that COM-port (like COM7, but not 1 or 2) for WInAvr

Before you try to upload the program, look at the menu tabs and select the one marked 'board'.  Then set your ISP Freq to 125.0 kHz.  Be sure to click on 'write' afterwards.

Also, you might want to check out the AVR tutorial.  I found it helpful.

Good luck.
