hey, i build 50$ robot.
i have a AVR STK serial port dongle programmer, ATmega168. i write the code with PonyProg2000.

i turn power on and connect the programmer but when i click on "Connect to the selected AVR programmer" at AVR studio, i have an ERROR

what is the problem? how can i open and change FUSES options?

Based on the $50 Robot Tutorial, aren't you supposed to use PonyProg to transfer the code if you are using the serial port dongle?  Transfering the code using AVR Studio was for the AVRISP mkII programmer.

correct, but how can i modify my 50$ robot with UART?

[MarkBrown]

I do not know what UART is yet, or what it is useful for, but there is a link at the bottom of the $50 robot tutorial on adding UART functions to the AVR.  Here is the link if it helps: http://www.societyofrobots.com/microcontroller_uart_50_robot.shtml.

I am talking about this particular guide but in my case it doesn't work like it is written in the guide

Just removing the CKDIV8 fuse should do it.

I have the same issue with Avr not connecting to my Stk serial programmer, but i dont have the same options as byuri in the ponyprog2000 fuse list heres mine.
