  • Burning ATtiny25

    I have ordered a USB burner for the ATtiny25 project listed here

    http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17507

    in the mean time there is a whole host of simple serial and parallel
    burners and software on the net

    Has anybody successfully used any to burn a ATtiny25 ?

    Hi 6666,
    I have used a cheap chinese isp programmer to reprogram Atmega168pa.
    Here's a link to the cheapest one I have seen.
    By the way they will program attiny25 also.

      Hello again 6666.
      There's a lot of software out there, one comes to mind is AVRDUDE.
      Iam not sure if it is still command line based, but I believe there's a 'front end' to make it windows graphical..and much easier to deal with.
      Hope this helps
      Cheers
      John

          Oops......... think Pony prog can not work with USB programmers...sorry 6666 ...

          I use the http://www.pollin.de/shop/dt/MTY5OTg...1_Bausatz.html

            I have used pony prog on a ATMega16 and its a little quirky and a bit hammy.

              thats very similar to the burner i have ordered
              in the mean time I have been playing a bit with a simple
              Bascom burner and Avrdude with a GUI interface called Avr burn-o-matt
              and today it appears to have worked after much trying
              at least the text report says it worked
              will test the ATtiny25 and report back

                Hello 6666,glad you are getting it sorted.
                Also the firmware that you are flashing is there some Ground balance?
                Cheers

                  I looked at the ~$20 USB programmer, not bad and I'll likely order one. However as I already have AVR Studio and AVR Toolchain D/L'ed and an ATtiny13 I want to program my only problem is the wait for delivery. Is there a DIY USB programmer project I can build. Going to order a tiny25 to try this detector but had this tiny13 I wanted to build a different circuit with and have been researching the best route for burning these devices when I came upon this very interesting project mentioned above: http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17507.

                  This is my first adventure into AVR territory, I have been working with PICs for a long time.

                    Yes, Dean Camera made an AVRISP MKII clone several years back. He went open with his design, and you are free to build your own USB clone from scratch: http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/AVRISP.php

                    Personally, I wouldn't bother making a clone since these devices can be found cheaply on ebay.

                    Just make sure to get an "AVRISP MKII" or other clone since you want Atmel support. Some, like the USBASP clone are really cheap (less than $5), but are not supported by AVR Studio. These cheaper clones rely on buggy proprietary software that some times come with driver issues.

                    Also, if you're new to the atmegas, you can build your self an Arduino board (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardUno). The beauty of this second option is that you can use the Arduinos as your main development board in addition to using them as an ISP programmer as an option ( not both). Scroll down for the Eagle files in addition to the schematic.

                    The Arduino boards can be transformed into an ISP programmer only after programming them with the necessary software.

                    Don't be shocked if you go the Arduino route. I had some experience using the Atmel processors and their free toolchain before checking out the Arduino. After getting their hardware, I think I felt insulted by how easy everything worked. Most pic guys never go back once they have had sometime with the platform.

                        This is what works for me, to burn a ATtiny25, from my desktop PC.
                        see other post for results of testing

                        Simple parallel port burner called Bascom also known as Dontronics DT006
                        works for me with a cable one metre long.

                        Two pieces of Software are needed

                        AVR Burn-o-matt, (this is great)
                        this is a GUI for Averdude which is a horrible command line program,
                        but the AVR Burn-o-matt makes it easy to use.
                        http://avr8-burn-o-mat.aaabbb.de/avr...de_gui_en.html


                        You also need to install WINAVR, this contains the Averdude program, (and other stuff)
                        http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/files/WinAVR/

                        NOTE: In AVR Burn-o-mat, you must select the correct directory that WINAVR is in
                        so it can find Avrdude
                        and also select the port.
                        Load your hex , burn it
                        alter your fuses, burn them
                        you will see a text report

                        You can just use the Avrdude program its self
                        good luck
