I've been using the STK-500 with a PC for a while to program hex files that were generated by other software like Bascom and to set the fuses on my Atmel chips.
I'm wondering if I can use the Arduino board (USB version that I just bought on Spark Fun) to program these same hex files, either using the Arduino software or with another utility like avrdude.
I'm on a Mac generally and while I can use avrdude to program hex files that I create with avr-gcc, I can only get it to work with the STK500, which requires a USB-dongle and power supply avrdude, which is not that great to use. It would be great to use the Arduino board to have a more lightweight way to program chips.
Anyone know? Thanks!
