Help ATmega328PB upload hex file:

[henripl1707]

Hello everyone, I have this construction plan and I have assembled a circuit board with it. I used a usbasp and would like to drag a hex file onto the microcontroller. Enclosed are plans and pictures and the error messages that the atmel 328pb is somehow not recognised correctly.

Here is the code to upload:
avrdude -V -c usbasp -p m328pb -P usb -U flash:w:XXX...XXX.hex:i

The error:
Error: program enable: target does not answer (0x01)
Error: initialization failed (rc = -1)

• double check the connections and try again
• use -B to set lower the bit clock frequency, e.g. -B 125kHz
• use -F to override this check

Avrdude done. Thank you.

What OS are you using?
-P usb does not look right to me?

On Windows I would expect COMx.
On Linux it would be something like /dev/ttyUSBx or /dev/ttyACMx
On a Mac it might be /dev/cu.something

Usually avrdude will use the default port for the programmer anyway, chances are you can just drop the -P anyway.

i work on mac, and connect via a usb-c hub

i also tryed: /Users/XX/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -C/Users/XXX/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -p m8 -c usbasp -P usb -U flash:w:/UsersXXXl/Desktop/usbasp.atmega8.2011-05-28.hex:i

to update the usbasp and it worked. But if i doit on the other: /Users/XXXLibrary/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -C/Users/XXX/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/avrdude/6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -p m328pb -c usbasp -P usb -U flash:w:/Users/XXX/Desktop/Beerdrinker.hex:i

i get this error:

i also tryed this but it also did not worked:
avrdude -F -V -c usbasp -p m328pb -P usb -b 115200 -U flash:w:/Users/XXX/Desktop/Beerdrinker.hex
Error: program enable: target does not answer (0x01)

• double check the connections and try again
• use -B to set lower the bit clock frequency, e.g. -B 125kHz

No base resistors for your transistors may cause the applied programming signals to be clamped to a Vbe; too low for programming the chip….

@westfw

No base resistors for your transistors . . .

Indeed. And no series (current limiting) resistors either for the segments of the 4 x 7 seg display LED90.

It is often easier to use a Max7219 or Max7221 display driver instead of using shift registers, transistors, resistors and your own multiplexing code.
