hi there
I am trying to programme ATTiny2313 I am using boot loader off this website ToasterBotics: ATTiny2313 with Arduino
Following the instructions on the web site it states I need to change the file main.cxx to cpp how do I go about doing this please?
Rename it to .cpp?
Doc
so i'm just changing the file name not the file type ?
i think that page is a little outdated, he is talking about #include "WProgram.h" which was used in older versions of Arduino (before vesion 1.00)
You could use this core instead:
https://code.google.com/p/arduino-tiny/
It come with an installation uide
https://code.google.com/p/arduino-tiny/source/browse/README
Note there is a version for Arduino 1.0x and 1.5.x
A step by step guide:
ok I will have a go with this one
where it says :
Open the "boards.txt" file and the "Prospective Boards.txt" file using your
favourite text editor
so am I ok opening it with notepad?
and where it says:
In the "boards.txt" file, change the "upload.using" entries to the
appropriate value for your setup
so what do I change it to?
so am I ok opening it with notepad?
Notepad is fine
change the "upload.using" entries
If you are using ArduinoISP, you use this
attiny2313at1.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
In response to the original question the data before the " . " is the file name the data after the " . " is the file type...
exe, .com, .txt refer to the file type. However if the contents of the file don't match the named file type you may have some issues however in this case I believe that they are of the correct content vs type, Just the file extension is named that way for the other code that employs that file. at least this is the way I was taught what an 8.3 file naming convention meant.
Doc
does that look ok was it still not working?
attiny2313at1.name=ATtiny2313 @ 1 MHz
The following do NOT work...
attiny2313at1.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
attiny2313at1.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
The following DO work (pick one)...
#attiny2313at1.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
attiny2313at1.upload.protocol=avrispv2
attiny2313at1.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
attiny2313at1.upload.maximum_size=2048
Default clock (slowly rising power; long delay to clock; 8 MHz internal; divide clock by 8)
Int. RC Osc. 8 MHz; Start-up time: 14 CK + 65 ms; [CKSEL=0100 SUT=10]; default value
Divide clock by 8 internally; [CKDIV8=0]
Brown-out detection disabled; [BODLEVEL=111]
Serial program downloading (SPI) enabled; [SPIEN=0]
Preserve EEPROM memory through the Chip Erase cycle; [EESAVE=0]
attiny2313at1.bootloader.low_fuses=0x64
attiny2313at1.bootloader.high_fuses=0x9F
attiny2313at1.bootloader.extended_fuses=0xFF
attiny2313at1.bootloader.path=empty
attiny2313at1.bootloader.file=empty2313at1.hexattiny2313at1.build.mcu=attiny2313
attiny2313at1.build.f_cpu=1000000L
attiny2313at1.build.core=tiny
You should just uncomment (remove the # sign) the options you want to use.
For example this line
#attiny2313at1.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
becomes
attiny2313at1.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
does that look ok was it still not working?
Which errors do you get ?
Please post them here
o I see so like this:
attiny2313at1.name=ATtiny2313 @ 1 MHz

I don't have any, it does not show up in tools - board
Is your boards.tx located in the right place:
C:\Projects\Arduino\hardware\tiny\boards.txt
Note it is case sensitiv (small b)
Whisch Arduino IDE version are you using ?
Is your boards.tx located in the right place:
C:\Projects\Arduino\hardware\tiny\boards.txt
yes as you have show above
and yes all in lowercase
Whisch Arduino IDE version are you using ?
1.0
Just to be sure you use the right folder:
In the Arduino IDE use:
Sketch->Show SketchFolder
On my PC (Win Vista) the path is:
c:\Users\EC\Documents\Arduino
So my boards.txt is located here:
c:\Users\EC\Documents\Arduino\hardware\tiny\boards.txt
yes this is my one
c:\Users\Joe\Documents\Arduino\hardware\tiny\boards.txt
?
any ideas what the problem could be?
could it be anything else?
thanks Joe
Might seem daft, but have you closed and reopened the Arduino IDE after changing the boards.txt file?
I'm using the files that Erni give you in the Reply #3 and it works ok
Jus unzip in the folder hardware, and setup the boards.txt file.
I have mine here:
C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\tiny
the content of my boards.txt fiel is:

I guess the only difference is that I have the files in the program files folder, the folder of the installation of arduino.
If not work please redo it again.
oh, suggesting that Tom tell you, you need to set it up before open the arduino IDE, other ways the changes may not have affect.
nice day.
I copy that one into my boards.txt and still not working, I do close the arduino before altering anything I do not open until everything else has been closed, by the looks of it it cant be that folder must be something else on the down load?
I have deleted and reinstalled to make sure I have not altered anything else, still no difference?
I don't know
If it is of any help, below is a screenshot from my PC.
The folder with the arrow contains the boards.txt file, which by the way is a just a copy of Prospective Boards.txt .
