Hi @ahmadaziz0123
welcome to the arduino-forum

my weight is 96 kg.
Can you tell my eye-color?, my shoesize? my haircolor? my height?
What do you expect from such a small info?

Usually you plug in the USB-to-COM-port-chip into a USB-socket and windows will automatically install the driver.
Ready to use.

If this did not work for you you will have to describe:
. what operatingsystem you use WIndows Linux (whch one) or IOS /MAC

  • very detailed the steps you have taken to try it
  • looking up the device-manager if still some unknown device is in the list
  • describing if you use a standard microcontroller-board and the exact type of microcontroller-board.
  • in case you try to program a bare microcontroller-chip what exact type of
    microcontroller-chip this is (atmega328P or something different.

best regards Stefan

@ahmadaziz0123 Hello there,
is did what you mean?

Take a look at the video or do you mean something else?

Greetings dingsken.

The version of avrdude included with Arduino does not seem to support ch341a programmers.
(Support was added to avrdude quite recently, in the scheme of things.)

Otherwise, it should look like this, I think (I don't have a ch341a programmer, so I can't check.):

ch341prog.name=ch341a
ch341prog.communication=usb
ch341prog.protocol=ch341a
ch341prog.program.protocol=ch341a
ch341prog.program.tool=avrdude
ch341prog.program.tool.default=avrdude
ch341prog.program.extra_params=-Pusb

For everyone: the ch341a is a USB to Serial AND parallel converter chip, and there seem to be a significant set of "device programmer" clones made using it, mostly aimed at modifying serial flash (BIOS) chipis. https://www.instructables.com/CH341A-Programmer/

That script i was looking for. Let me check it if it work i'll inform you
Thanks bro

i tried to add the script at the end of file to the directory C:\Users\ahmad\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.6\programmers.txt
but my programmer is not listed.
now could you tell me what am i doing wrong and where????

Did you restart the IDE after modifying programmers.txt? I don't think that this is one of the config files that is automatically re-read without a restart, when changed.

I did append that bit to my own programmers.txt, and it does appear in the list of programmers (assuming you've selected an AVR board that uses that "core." If you're using, say, minicore, then you'd have to edit C:\Users\ahmad\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\MiniCore\hardware\avr\2.2.2\programmers.txt instead.)

thats right the selected board was arduino uno R3 and ch341a was not showing in the programmers list. when change the board to arduino pro mini now it is listed.
actually i want to burn the bootloader to arduino uno R3 using CH341A programmer
what should i do??????

13

I dunno. If it appears for the pro mini, it should be appearing for the Uno R3 as well.

14

but its not! thats reality
