AVR programmer USB device not found

[RobH]

I've purchased this programmer:

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9825

and cannot get FC6.1.1 to find it or use it. It works well with arduino software, so I know it is functioning. Here is the parameters I use in FC6.1.1:

Thank you for all help.

Hello Rob,

Please can you try these settings. Fingers crossed they will work for you.

Let us know how you get on with the programmer, the AVRISP is now end of life so we are looking for a replacement. The unit you use looks good but I think ideally we need something in a protective case.

We're getting closer! Here's the error message:

Hi Rob,

Ok Please can you try this alternate batch file.

avrc_usbtiny.bat

(1.5 KiB) Downloaded 276 times

It needs to be placed here "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 6\compilers\avr\batchfiles" in your installation.

Fingers crossed this one will work correctly.

[RobH]

That worked. I appreciate you staying on this with me.

Thanks for letting me know and glad it's working

I've put the new batchfile into the code base now so it will be fixed in the next release.
