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.

  • Sweet Heck by Hatter

    What is Sweet Heck? I came up with this strip during my last quarter in Savannah. The comic ran up until I graduated and then fell between the cracks as most things I have worked on tend to do. I recently got access to a backup drive that had these [...]

  • Way to go DC and Warner Bros. by Hatter

    “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight! Let those who worship evil’s might, beware my movie.. Green Lantern sucked!” Okay, so that last line wasn’t really part of the Green Lantern mantra. Let me start this review by saying that there is no spoiler alert [...]

  • Star Tours: The Adventure Continues by Hatter

    I’m bad at writing reviews without giving some spoilers, but I don’t think I am giving you any information that you didn’t already know or see from the commercials. As most Disney fans know: When a new ride opens up, keep clear for about a year. That would normally have [...]

  • So much time has passed by Hatter

    AP has become a little stagnant over the years and my goal is to freshen things up a bit over the next few weeks. I will be updating links and adding a few new bells and whistles.

  • Where has this year gone? by Hatter

    This has been a turbulent year. At least for me it has. Time has been moving way too fast to really keep up with it. Hawkeye and I were going to record a show the other week and now my PC has taken a dive. He also has been busy with his own stuff which is why we haven’t seen any new strips.

  • It's been a (short) while by Hatter

    Sorry for the delay. Life has a way of making one busy without asking permission. New show will be recorded this weekend one way or another, with or without us… you might just be hearing static.

  • Chuck by Hawkeye
  • Season 2 Episode 10 is now up by Hatter

    This weeks show: People that are depressed that Pandora from the film Avatar does not exist. The Late Show drama between Leno, Conan and $40 million. We also discuss Sony’s decision to fire Sam Raimi from Spiderman 4 and create a whole reboot where Peter Parker is in High School. [...]

  • The Simple Reason Why The N… by Hawkeye

    Consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded [...]
