avrisp mkii not working with arduino 1.0

Post by moreglia »

I am trying to use the avrisp_mkii within the arduino 1.0 IDE framework, but when I try to upload to an arduino uno board the IDE complains that no usb device is found. Forums say you can't use the AvrStudio drivers with arduino, but windows (7, 64bit) complains about the arduino driver as being unsigned. Can anyone tell me how to use the avrisp within the arduino IDE?

Thanks.
- Mark

It is unsigned, but you can install it anyway. That is what I am using on my Win-7/64 system.

Thanks,
but the signing was not the problem. It appears to be a 64bit OS problem.
When I load the driver from arduino1.0 on a Windows7 32 bit system there is no problem,
but it does not load on the 64bit machine.

What driver do you use on your 64 bit machine?

What driver do you use on your 64 bit machine?
I use the one in the Arduino IDE download. Do you have an administrative account on the machine? I don't believe it will let you override the signing check otherwise.

Problem resolved ... known x64 issue posted by Beagleboy here: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9825

The inf-wizard in the arduino 1.0 release does not install the drivers;
use this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb- ... -releases/

Should the avrispmkii be showing up as a USB device when the drivers are properly installed?

I'm on Windows 7 (32 bit), changed the preferences file, and I think I installed the above drivers properly (it's hard to tell since I can't really find the device), but when I try to upload a sketch it says: "Serial port 'COMx' not found"

The only indication of the device is under Jungo, I have a WinDriver version 10.2.1.0, which may be the one AVRStudio isntalled :?

I'm pretty confused...

NVM - turns out the programmer was bad.

Thanks anyway!
