reprogramming TVBGone with USBtinyISP

Post by modbom »

OK I built one TVBGone for a friend and he loves it. I'm building a second but I want to reprogram it with additional IR codes for myself.

I built the USBtinyISP (Green light when plugged in to USB) , downloaded and confirmed the drivers (V 1.10 win32) installed AVRdude (V 5.1.26)and AVRdude GUI (V0.2.0)

I built a TVBgone with just the controller, 10bit header, and batteries as described by Mitch and the end of this thread
http://www.ladyada.net/forums/viewtopic ... e&start=15

I've downloaded BANNED's file with the added IR codes from here:
http://www.BANNED.net/projects/tvbgo ... simple.rar

What I can't figure out how to do is
A: How to test the tinyISP to be sure I made it correctly and be sure I'm connected to it
B: How to download BANNED's code onto the TVBgone

I'll be much obliged for any pointers at all
PS forgive me for posting this twice. I'm not sure if it belongs on the USBtinyISP forum or the TVBGone forum
