What di I do wrong?
Windows XP, tried a couple different USB/Serial adapters
My POV sequences through the LEDs when it's powered up, the LED opposite the conector flashes during the attemp to conect as does the "link" on my usb/serial, no lights on the one i bought w/ the POV:
C:\pov>make program-minipov
avrdude -p attiny2313 -P com3 -c dasa -U flash:w:minipov.hex
avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
avrdude done. Thank you.
make: *** [program-minipov] Error 1
C:\pov>
Here is my handywork, I've double checked my diodes:
Thanks in advance!

Re: Can't get past: make program-minipov
Yes, checked and rechecked one is com3 and the other is com5 so i've tried both
it's unhappy if it can't open the com port. the led flashes so i believe something is getting through... like a knock but no one home
I even ran the delay up to 9000

Re: Can't get past: make program-minipov
which diode would be bad if that were it? I may have some of those

Re: Can't get past: make program-minipov
we mean the big red box that says you need to use a special version of the software

Re: Can't get past: make program-minipov
Oh, Sorry, yes
I even went back and verified the two files that are in avrdude51a update zip matched what is in c:winavr/bin. I did have to search around a bit to find WinAVR and i have the latest release
should I try an earlier release?
Let me try on a different PC and run through the instructions again to be sure I did everything right... been having good success w/ your kits so far..
I may order a couple more of these for the grandkids and just see if we got a flaky chip.
I will let you know how I make out on another PC later,
Thanks for the quick help on this, not realy a big issue

if you could find a computer with a Real Serial port that would be ++ best

Re: Can't get past: make program-minipov
SOLVED!
First try on the old area 51 game box serial port. no way, no how, no port, on my netbook.
(Samsung NC10 /Atom)
What will we do one day without real serial ports...
I have a 232 converter can it be programed from Arduino's COM port?
Sorry for the bother...

Re: Can't get past: make program-minipov
sadly, you cant use the arduino to do the conversion

Re: Can't get past: make program-minipov
I dont have one, I am having the exact same problem, i made sure i did everything 10 times, the leds blink when i try to make (with minipov off) but fails before it starts and fails with minipov on too.if you could find a computer with a Real Serial port that would be ++ best
My minipov is running through the leds even when plugged in, i wasnt sure if it was supposed to do that too.

hi please don't post in multiple threads - it makes it hard to help you if the information is in 5 places!
