$50 robot programming question
« on: September 20, 2010, 06:13:48 PM »
Im a newb at this...

I used avr studio and compiled the files from the $50 robot tutorial with rebuild all. Then I sucessfully loaded the Photovore_v1.hex file to my chip using AVRdude and this http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9231 AVR pocket programmer.

but nothing happends? Im assuming it should just run as soon as i flash the chip right?

When i build all in AVRstudio does that create the right the proper .hex file i need? I feel like i;m missing a step or something here?

thanks

I'm a total newb too. In fact, I'm still building the $50 robot, so be wary of my advice. Still, try turning the mcu off and then back on after programming. I hope this helps.

I haven't used AVRdude, but AVRstudio does create the .hex file when you build all (look in the project folder for your current project, it will be in the subfolder "default".)

For the greatest tragedy of them all
Is never to feel the burning light."
