Problem with fuse settings, programming minipov3

[freshout]

Hi.
I got the Minipov3 kit to build an SLM. I'm using windows Vista, and a USB/serial adapter. The minipov lit up, I think with the stock message, when I turned it on.

I downloaded the USB adapter driver, and the Avrdude software, and went through all the steps on the website. Here's what the command prompt said. It looks like a fuse problem. I used the fuse settings from the online calculator. I have the Attiny2313 chip from the kit.


I don't know if it makes a difference at this stage, but I connected the 1kohm resistors in R5 and R6, following the variation for the SLM project.

the attiny2313 from the kit should have the fuses burned properly already. in any case, the correct fuses can be set using the makefile. try

Code: Select all

make burn-fuse

a couple of photos of the board might be helpful if the problem persists. cold solder joints on the serial connector are real easy to get since you've got a relatively big hunk of metal to heat up.

So, i'm pretty sure i set the fuses incorrectly last night using the command prompt. it says on the tutorial page that you can "brick" the chip by setting them wrong. hopefully i didn't do that.

here's what i got when i entered the "make burn-fuse" command:

which brand of usb adapter is it

I think it's GWC, but it's not marked.

it could be the adapter?? make sure its powered while programming, try different 'delays', see if you can hunt down a computer with a com port or a different adapter

I changed the delay from 2000 to 4000 and it worked. Thanks! first project = brain machine = done
