Arduino UNO + Pololu USB AVR Programmer : issues

I changed 12 to 5 because avr studio can accepts COM port untill 9

Did you install the device driver...

Does the configuration utility work...

I know the manual very well :smiley:

But you use the programmer with Arduino software? Or you use AVRDUDE ?

GianfrancoPa:

Yes.

Or you use AVRDUDE ?

Sometimes.

Arduino IDE uses the avrdude it just hides that from the user...

I know it, but I have to exclude, if possible, that the programmer is broken...

Have you tried using the configuration utility?

Have you tried a different USB cable?

Are you certain you have the six-pin cable correctly connected?

Yes, it recognizes the programmer

Have you tried a different USB cable?

Yes, I get the same issues!

Are you certain you have the six-pin cable correctly connected?

The controller has a yellow LED that flashes when it receives from 5V Vcc (more or less). when the Arduino is running normally, the reset pin has a voltage of 5V, but when I press the reset button, this pin indicates 0V.

When I plug in the 6-pin connector, I press the reset button, if the LED
yellow is still blinking, it means it is connected properly. however, if not blinking, it means that I have reversed the sense of connection!

is wrong?

Sounds like it is working just like mine does. Try this from the command-line...

avrdude -v -v -v -patmega328 -cavrispv2 -P\.\COM5

Under AVRDUDE, no?

Under AVRDUDE, no?

I don't understand.

I have to launch this command line using AVRDUDE, not Arduino software, isn't it?

Yes. You type the command (or copy-and-paste it) into a "dos prompt" (a command-shell). The command shell can be started by running "CMD".

You will either have to navigate to the folder containing AVRDUDE or modify the PATH. These update the PATH on my computer so I can run AVRDUDE...

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Arduino\arduino-0022\hardware\tools\avr\utils\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Arduino\arduino-0022\hardware\tools\avr\bin
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\arduino\arduino-0022\hardware\tools\avr\etc

Replace "C:\Arduino\arduino-0022" with the Arduino root folder on your computer.

This line don't functions, I modified it so:

avrdude -v -v -v -patmega328p -cavrispv2 -P\\.\COM5

and I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\Gianfranco>avrdude -v -v -v -patmega328p -cavrispv2 -P
\.\COM5

I'm using windows XP SP3...

I opened a thread on pololu forum: http://forum.pololu.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3722&p=17560#p17560

I've installed the programmer in a different pc, and it function!!

The post in Reply #4 says that the programmer port is assigned to COM12. The command line in Reply #15 is directing to COM5. Avrdude will not be able to find the programmer at COM5.

I've changed com port from 12 to 5
