Installing Pocket AVR Programmer Driver on Windows 8

For more information on Downloading, Installing, and Configuring WinAVR, check out this pdf =>. After installing, the Pocket AVR Programmer will come up as a new tree under libusb-win32devices -> USBtiny.Īlso, make sure that you are installing the latest version of WinAVR. They can be found in the documents section under the Windows Driver link. Make sure that you install the driver for your Pocket AVR Programmer. One thing I did was to add a 16MHz crystal on pins 9 and 10 of the Atmega328p. Make sure that you flip the switch to ' Power Target.' I did use two 0.1uF decoupling capacitors in the circuit, LED for blink, LED for power, reset button, and associated resistors as explained in the tutorial. I didn't need to add the voltage regulator to my setup since the AVR Pocket Programmer can provide the 5V. First, you need to build the circuit on the breadboard. The circuit had to be modified a little to get it working. The tutorial was originally referring to two other programmers and not the AVR Pocket programmer. The Pocket AVR Programmer can be used with one of our old tutorials ' Lecture 2 - How to Get Code Onto a Microcontroller'. Tech Support Tips/Troubleshooting/Common Issues. Note: The drivers link has been updated below to be Windows 7 compatible. A portion of each sales goes back to them for product support and continued development. Note: This product is a collaboration with Limor Fried.

It is fast! One of the greatest features of this board is the ability to power the target (up to 500mA) from the programmer. This board is buffered and power protected so that you can do some really evil things to the programmer without killing it. The ATmega328 on an Arduino Uno or RedBoard works perfectly, but the ATmega2560 of an Arduino Mega does not. The microcontroller-to-be-programmed can be any AVR with 64K or less of flash. This programmer works really well for ATmega168 and ATmega328 and should work with all the AVR micros supported by AVRDUDE. This is a low-cost programmer designed for those on a tight budget. Based on Dick Streefland's USBtiny and Limor Fried's USBtinyISP. It is low cost, easy to use, works great with AVRDude, and is tested extensively on a Windows desktop. This is a simple to use USB AVR programmer.
