User`s guide

As a second step, we recommend you install the Pololu AVR C/C++ Library [http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J20],

which provides functions for interacting with all of the Orangutan’s integrated hardware, including the auxiliary

processor, and many demo programs that show how to use these functions. For an overview of how to program

your SVP using the library, see Section 6.j of the Pololu AVR C/C++ Library User’s Guide. This should make it

easier for you to get started with your Orangutan.

For a more detailed account of how to get started using AVR Studio, including screenshots, please see our Pololu

USB AVR Programmer User’s Guide [http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J36]. The user’s guide is specific to our USB

AVR programmer, but much of the section on using AVR Studio is relevant to using the Orangutan SVP’s

built-in programmer. One notable difference, however, is that the Orangutan SVP’s built-in programmer ignores

AVR Studio’s ISP frequency parameter and always programs at 2 MHz. Also, the Orangutan SVP’s programmer

prevents you from setting any of the fuses controlling the AVR’s clock settings. This is to prevent you from

accidentally using an invalid clock setting and rendering your AVR unprogrammable.
