Stupid projects
I’ve been toying with this crap for the better of 6 months now. It’s crap, in fact it is actually pretty in theory. The problem is that I can’t get it to fucking work!
What I’m talking about is the USBTinyISP from ladyada.net. This is a kit project that allows you to send simple C code from your computer to a microcontroller chip, in my case, the ATTINY45. What I’m trying to do is to get a few frelling LEDs to flicker randomly like a candle. Only because I want to test it!
Here’s my problem:
Both my PC and Mac can see the USBTinyISP which means I’m getting power to the programmer… then what? I have tried several target boards for the receiving chip to no luck at all. Evilmadscientist.com has an article on target boards, which I have followed and still no success.
Has anyone out there had experience with target boards and/or programmers like the above? Drop me a line would ya!
In the meantime, I’ll be picking up an Arduino Duemilanove.
Episode 7
Episode 7 is now up for your listening pleasure.
Thanks to those of you that wished me a happy birthday. I may not like celebrating my bday, but I’m glad that you guys are around.
Today’s show reviews District-9, the film of an alien refugee camps in South Africa. We discuss birthdays in a slightly inconsistent manner. And of course, Mike continues with his Twilight Saga Book Report… yay :l
