Hi folks,
Does this schematic work with ATtiny25?
Thanks
Gábor

Hi there, some time ago i made a programmer for nearly every AVR that has 8, 20 or 40 pins, complete with lpt isp connector. And as far as i remember it took me 4 resistors (instead of 3 in Your project ) – 3x 330ohm, 1x 100ohm and 1 capacitor for power smoothing (powered via USB). I used it many times with WinAvr and AVRdude so its working correctly.

IM LOOKING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WILL BE WILLING TO MAKE SOME CASH! I HAVE AN “AT-TINY45″ 8PIN CHIP, AND I NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE DUPLICATES. THE CHIP I HAVE IS USED FOR MAKING RAPID FIRE XBOX CONTROLLERS. IF YOU ARE QUALIFIED, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO: ATILLAZBADBOY@GMAIL.COM IF LOCK BITS ARE PRESENT, I WILL NEED A NEW CODE DEVELOPED, SO “C” CODING EXPERIENCE IS A MUST!

For the attiny2313-20pi from sparkfun electronics. i tried this but my modern computer doesnt have a parallel port so i used a usb counter and neither of the programs work. avreal or lcprog on windows vista. they both just close after they open. even in admininstrator privelages.

For ATTiny12 I suggest this schematic : http://www.serasidis.gr/circuits/avr_isp/avr_isp.htm

Hope this helps

hello,

is it possible to programme ATTINY12 with this programmer? can you please answer on my email?

Your project is really useful for beginners.

I am from India and working on a project ‘Light Following Robot’.

The circuit uses AT90S4433 microcontroller.

I need your help.

How to build a programmer for this microcontroller?

Waiting for your reply

Regards

Hey,

This thing worked like a charm for me using Windows XP once I installed the proper driver and .dll file for the AVReal software. I used it ot program a tiny2313 chip for a project of mine.

To the OP, thanks for sharing this information you’ve saved me the cost of purchasing an expensive programmer!

hi
THIS IS SANJEET,
SIR I WANT TO KNOW THAT HOW TO COPY A 64PIN BLNK MICROPROCESSOR ICS WITH A 64PIN PROGRAMME ICS (how i can read and write the programmer ics)
PLEASE REPLY

hi,
i need USB Avr programmer to connect Avr to notebook.
please help me.
can i build it?
thanks.

Hey,

Thanks, it works for me fine! I used the 380 ohm resistors, their value does not matter much, only used as a safety measure as i understand..

Hi,
very good advice. I’m beginer and I think I finally programmed the microcontroller (but no LEDs blink)- I made the Ladyada’s POV project:
I used that DB25 porgramming board and AVReal software for DOS (just for programming the microcontroller)
command:
avreal32.exe +TINY2313 -p1 -ap -o0 -e -w -v -c minipov.hex
and appeared:

… Power ON
Device connected, TINY3213 detected
Lock state unknown
Device erased
Device connected, TINY2313 detected
Fuses
OSCCAL =65, 68
CKDIV =1
CKOUT =1
SUT =2
CKSEL =4
DWEN =1
EESAVE =1
WDTON = 1
BODLEVEL =7
RSTDISBL = 1
SELFPRGEN = 0
Programming CODE memory
done
Verifying CODE memory
passed
done
Reset pin released
Power OFF

it looks fine to me, but i can’t make the LEDs blink

What do you think?
PS I’m romanian too.:P

Which resistors do I need? 3x 330 Ohm (like in text) or 3x 220 Ohm (like in graphic)?

Hello Sir,
I saw your project AVRsimple-to-build programmer hardware which is useful to me.I used your Attiny programmer circuit diagram.I work on one project in which i control stepper motor through PC parallel port.I done programming in turbo C.Now i want to control stepper motor through USB port insted of parallel port.
In your project circuit diagram controller ic ATtiny 2313 is used.So,this ic is controller ic so programmer is also required.In which language you done programming? After programmer i used this ic in USb to LPT circuit diagram & i want to take input from USB port. Give me the proper idea.

Thank you.

With Regards,
Ankur

hi everybody

i program the fuse bits whit this program and work fine, i test on attiny2313

thanks
