Avrisp mkii programmer
This is how the programmer communicates with the micro. Second, it is 100% normal behavior for the reset line and other programming lines to temporarily drop low. Programmer wiring sounds correct from what I can see. Try disconnecting the battery and see if your programmer does. "I can't speak directly for the AVRISP, but many programmers provide voltage to the circuit and don't need an external source. Not quite sure why you started another thread instead of continuing on with the one you had going, but I digress.įirst, did you do what I said in the other post when I said: Please.if anybody can give me some tips and directions, it would be great since I am beginning to run out of more ideas to make this thing work. Should not this take care of the voltage drops? So I am feeling that this is an issue that the programmer does not get power from target momentarily when it enters the programming mode.īut I do have a capacitor connected between pins 7 and 8 (VCC and GND) and also a capacitor between reset line and +5V. So I check voltage on reset line and the others and sure enough I see the voltage momentarily drop down to a low number. Whenever I hit 'Read Signature' or 'Program', I see the green LED on programmer momentarily turn red. So I lower the ISP frequency to the lowest Hertz value. But first of all i cannot read the signature. (although i think the orange blinking problem was solved mostly by the second point above) Introducing a 10k ohm pull-up resistor on the reset line - between reset and +5V bus.
Avrisp mkii programmer how to#
Unfortunately I am still stuck trying to figure out how to make my AVRISP mkII to work!Īs an update - the blinking orange light was resolved byĢ.
