Re: ESR meter upgrades

BTW I'm open to do a teamviewer connection skype talk with camera so you can check all connections whatever it takes to fix this

-p m8 ???
that's atmega8, you need to have -p m328p for atmega328picopower

Re: ESR meter upgrades

we are all here too learn dont worry i also was having issues using my programmer but i was learning as i was going but managed to sort it in the end its just time and patience maybe some pictures of your pcb set up with how your programming this ic will help so your are using a 16 mhz crystal and two 22pf capacitors.

Re: ESR meter upgrades

i dont touch teamviewer - i read the license - you should too.

it connects to a central server that keeps a complete log of what you do and what it see's
no thanks - i'll stick with VNC

**bmht** · 07-23-2016, 11:14 AM

Re: ESR meter upgrades

I'm open to VNC too let me install and let you know thanks jejej

I did not knew about Teamviewer I mostly use it to help my dad when he has problems which is almost daily... He is 80 now... so it amazes me he still uses the computer..
anyway... brb

**bmht** · 07-23-2016, 11:23 AM

Re: ESR meter upgrades

Ok VCN installed since I'm new in this forum I believe I can not PM no one but I can over at eevblog want me to pm you there??

Thanks

just a thought with your crystal are you using 22pf capacitors as well? when your programming the ic

With the new Crystal I'm not using 22pf capacitors just the crystal as sjt advised any would do.

Here are some pictures of my connection either to USBASP and Arduino

This is a quote of a site im learning about programming from
see also
http://www.instructables.com/id/burn...pu-bootloader/

1MHz ATmega328P.

Note that you must connect a 16MHz crystal with two 22pF capacitors.

If you are developing a non-UART program on a breadboard, using a regular ISP programmer (like ArduinoISP) is more convenient.

Using a bootloader on a breadboard requires multiple fingers pressing RESET buttons. Whereas using bootloader on the UNO is painless ---- the 'RESET' is done automagically by the DTR capacitor

maybe stj will advise you if you need them on your pcb your using for programming.

**stj** · 07-23-2016, 12:06 PM

Re: ESR meter upgrades

i never advised not using capacitors on the crystal, infact you need a 100nf cap across the power pins too.

**bmht** · 07-23-2016, 12:11 PM

Re: ESR meter upgrades

My mistake I thought that any crystal would do without caps
Let me look at the caps I think I fryed my USBASP since I was reading the problem was due to old firmware I decided to upgrade the firmware and apparently I can not burn the fuses to it anymore I'm having the same problem as in trying to program the tester chip with the arduino.

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin>avrdude -C ../etc/avrdude.
conf -c avrisp -P COM3 -b 19200 -p m8 -U flash:w:usbasp.atmega8.2011-05-28.hex

I'm going to look for the 22pf caps and repost

yes i just read that as well
One across the VCC and GND (Pins 7 and 8) and another across the AVCC and GND (Pins 20 and 22) (these are 100nf)
i think in a picture of my old esr tester someone had added those too the smd ic atmega328
regarding the locked fuse issue this is worth a read

Re: ESR meter upgrades

I got it wired now as in the schematic should I try to upload the code again?

Re: ESR meter upgrades

Hi bmht, just a note; please use code tags for the code output.
I edited your previous posts and added CODE tags.
It makes the output from avrdude much easier to read

Would you like this fuse to be changed back? [y/n] y

If I press Y it stays like that and does nothing

Thanks again
I'm trying to learn here

thanks for the manual i will have a read.

and some information i found on a forum if the fuses get locked try this Just put a 1nF cap from OSC1 to ground, and a 370 ohm resistor from OSC1 to Vcc as this resets them
