avrdude does not appear to be seeing your serial adapter.

I installed the drivers and everything. I just keep getting error after error on this. i figured that one out, and now i'm getting this one. however i have never gotten this one before. the chip is on, and is getting power to it (leds are blinking on it)

something changed with the chip or programmer so that they are no longer responding. did you set the fuses differently? was there any new soldering done since it worked?

i added a headphone jack and 2 capacitors. it did successfully program before i added these so shouldn't that mean that the chip is programmed? because when i turn it on nothing happened

if you turn it on and nothing happens then something is wrong with power or maybe the parts. remove them if you can. check the batteries and power.

Hello fellow tinkerers.

I come asking for your help. I'm new to AVRDude (I usually use the Arduino IDE) and I have stumbled onto a programming issue with my MiniPOV3.

I built it and it worked with the preloaded program. Yeah!
I reprogrammed it and it asked me something about fuses. I just typed yes each time. Big mistake! It no longer works.

Purchased a new ATTINY 2313V-10PU and reprogrammed. Fantastic.!!!!
Changed the code again and now I have a new brick :-(.
I have included the DOS printout for example:

C:\Temp\minipovfirmware>make program-make
avrdude -p attiny2313 -P com1 -c dasa -U flash:w:make.hex

avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions

Reading | ################################################## | 100% 1.20s

avrdude: Device signature = 0x000102
avrdude: NOTE: FLASH memory has been specified, an erase cycle will be performed

To disable this feature, specify the -D option.
avrdude: current erase-rewrite cycle count is -926299959 (if being tracked)
avrdude: erasing chip
avrdude: reading input file "make.hex"
avrdude: input file make.hex auto detected as Intel Hex
avrdude: writing flash (314 bytes):

avrdude: verifying flash memory against make.hex:

avrdude: input file make.hex contains 314 bytes
avrdude: reading on-chip flash data:

avrdude: safemode: lfuse changed! Was fe, and is now 64
Would you like this fuse to be changed back? [y/n] n
avrdude: safemode: hfuse changed! Was 0, and is now df
Would you like this fuse to be changed back? [y/n] n
avrdude: safemode: efuse changed! Was fe, and is now ff
Would you like this fuse to be changed back? [y/n] n
avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK

avrdude done. Thank you.



I believe that the fuses are my down fall. Please help me understand what fuse setting I need to set in AVRDude to enable easy re-writing to my Attiny.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks a million


Nikolas

well, dont use -D or -F or whatever, you'll only make the situation worse :(
can you try with a new chip, and just follow the instructions?
