I purchased the USBtinyISP kit some time ago, and just came across it recently. It was one of the first devices I assembled from a kit, and back then I was using a crappy old RadioShack soldering iron, so I will state right off the bat that a faulty connection is far from impossible. I now own a decent SparkFun temp-controlled iron, and so if ripping it open and reheating the joints is a possible solution then I will try that.
Okay, all the details:
USBtinyISP kit v2.0
Ubuntu 15.04 on a System76 Gazelle Professional laptop
avrdude 6.1
Currently attempting to connect with a cheap Chinese Uno knockoff with a terrible USB interface chip I'm trying to circumvent, FWIW
Here's what lsusb has to say: And here's Arduino IDE grumbling when I attempt to upload through the programmer: Also I have added a udev rule, as suggested:
Code: Select all
st@MajorTom:~$ more /etc/udev/rules.d/USBTinyISP.rules
UBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{product}=="USBtiny", ATTR{idProduct}=="0c9f", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1781", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout"
Finally, the behaviour of the device. The green LED illuminates but the red one does not; the Arduino board powers up when the ICSP cable is connected.
Any suggestions?
