hello
I'm not sure what exactly the buttons do.
I use IDE Arduino 0018. It works well and everything is OK.
There are two buttons "verify" and "upload".
It seems that the "verify" button makes .hex executable.
It seems that the "upload" button makes .hex again and than "uploads" the board.
It would be faster for me if the "upload" process didn't make the .hex again and used the previous generated one. (because I have slow pc).

Thank you. Today I have found the bug. I forgot change line 119 in ATmegaBOOT.c for chip m324p. Now it works both reading & writing.
Bootloader code is here: http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=1000323#1000323

Code:

$ avrdude -c avrisp -p m324p -P com5 -b 19200 -F -D -U flash:r:readout.hex:i
$ echo 'this one reads the chip'

$ avrdude -c avrisp -p m324p -P com5 -b 19200 -F -D -U flash:w:main.hex:i
$ echo 'this one writes the chip'

$ echo '-c arduino instead of -c avrisp works too'

Hello,
1/ I have device atmega324p, I downloaded the bootloader from site: https://github.com/magnuskarlsson/SDLogger/wiki/Arduino-howto
2/ I modified a little bit the "Makefile" and "ATmegaBOOT.c" for chip atmega324p, speed 19200, cpu_speed 16MHz
3/ I burned it by avrdragon
4/ I joined RS232-TTL (max232) cabel to PC and to the chip
5/ I made a successful test:

Code:

$ avrdude -c avrisp -p m324p -P com1 -b 19200 -F -U flash:r:readout:i

6/ but writing doesn't work

Code:

$ avrdude -c avrisp -p m324p -P com1 -b 19200 -F -U flash:w:main_blinking.hex:i

What is wrong?
Please any advice how to upload atmega324p chip?
Or does someone provide Arduino IDE files for chip atmega324p?

Hello,
can I connect directly output of Atmel (Atxmega16A4) that is 3.3V system to the input of LCD display (KS0066) that is 5V system? I need only one way data transfer. Or do I have to use pull-ups resistors or for example 74HC04 level shifter/translator.
thx

Hello,
the problem is solved. It works after renaming *.c to *.cpp and after few mistakes correction. Now I know how to split large project.
@Vanyamba Thank you, that was what helped.
Edit1: @PaulS Thank you for the explanation, I try also your way, it works too. I will use it in the future, it seems to be clearer.
Here is the final working project

[void tonTimer(T_TMR *t)]

Hello,

I'm new on Arduino.
can I write my own .c and .h files and use them with main.pde project?

Here is what I did:
1/ I wrote funcion void tonTimer(T_TMR *t) and store it to file FC060.c
2/ I wrote line extern void tonTimer(T_TMR *t); and store it to file FC060.h
3/ I included #include "FC060.h" in file main.pde  and
    I called this function tonTimer(&tmr1);  but I got compiling error
undefined reference to 'tonTimer(T_TMR*)'
What's wrong ? Files FC060.c, FC060.h, main.pde are compiled OK when I delete line tonTimer(&tmr1);

Hallo,
I have a simple DIY dataloger that works this way:
1/ the arduino board: samples 2 analog channels, 10bit resolution, 100ms sample speed, and runs about 1 hour.
2/ the data are sent to PC over RS232 line
3/ the data are saved to one big file as ASCII .csv file by printf() function in Processing
Now I'm looking for any waveform viewer for PC (free, for windows) that can load and show data as graphical output.

The problem is solved.  

I took ..arduino-0016\hardware\bootloaders\atmega\ATmegaBOOT_168.c and the Makefile and I copied them to another place. I changed a little the Makefile (target diecimila) in order to it works with AvrStudio GCC plugin.

I compiled it under AvrStudio v4.16 & WinAVR-20090313.
Burned the blank AtMega168 with AvrDragon by ISP.
Fuses:
EFUSE = 0xF8
HFUSE = 0xDD
LFUSE = 0xFF

First it didn't work.
When I read the Flash back from chip I got only 0xff in the whole file.
When I burned it again and I read the Flash back I got the good hex file.

And surprise it works !

Maybe the problem was long wiring between AVR Dragon and Severino.
Or maybe the problem was I took wrong hex file first time.
I hope just putting the ..arduino-0016\hardware\bootloaders\atmega\ATmegaBOOT_168_diecimila.hex will work.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much for help.
But my problem persist.  :'(
I can't find correct version of bootloader for my board.
I'm using:
PC: w2000 SP4,
IDE: arduino-0016
HW: arduino severino s3v3

The bootloaders I have tried:
C:\programs\arduino-0016\hardware\bootloaders\atmega
ATmegaBOOT_168_ng.hex
ATmegaBOOT_168_diecimila.hex

Fuses bits, I have read out from Makefile something like
HFUSE = DD
LFUSE = FF
EFUSE = 00

Always opened *.hex file in AtmelAvrStudio v4.16
and burned with AvrDragon in ISP mode and checked fuses too.
Programming is OK.
After restarting board the LED13 doesn't blink.
The Arduino IDE can't upload the sketch.

Can anyone point me, which bootloader should be used with the board severino s3v3 ???

Note: LED13 has good connection, it works, if I write a simple test loop in C in AvrStudio.

Hello,
I'm new at Arduino. I have got:
- HW: PCB Single sided Arduino s3v3 (Severino)

- Chip: blank AtMega168

Now I would like to burn the bootloader to chip.
- The programming tool I have: AVR dragon

My question:
which bootloader should I use ? Is this one OK?
