Hardware included with the Orangutan SVP partial kit.

• Orangutan SVP-324: BlinkLED_m324.zip [http://www.pololu.com/file/download/

BlinkLED_m324.zip?file_id=0J235] (7k zip)

• Orangutan SVP-1284: BlinkLED_m1284p.zip [http://www.pololu.com/file/download/

BlinkLED_m1284.zip?file_id=0J326] (8k zip)

You can move the Makefile from linux/ in to the top directory and compile using the make command. This should

generate a file BlinkLED.hex which you can program on to your SVP by running avrdude.

• For the Orangutan SVP-324: avrdude -c avrisp2 -U flash:w:BlinkLED.hex -p m1284p -P [PORT]

• For the Orangutan SVP-1284: avrdude -c avrisp2 -U flash:w:BlinkLED.hex -p m324p -F -P [PORT]

In the commands above, you should change [PORT] to be the serial port name of the Orangutan SVP’s

programmer. In Linux, this will usually be /dev/ttyACM0 (depending on how many other CDC ACM devices you

have) but you can also check dmesg. In Windows, look in your Device Manager for an entry that says “Pololu

Orangutan SVP Programmer”. If the COM number is greater than 9 (e.g. COM10) then you may need to put \\.\

before it (e.g. -P \\.\COM10). In Windows, -P \\.\USBSER000 will usually work as well.

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.

5.e. Assembling the kit version

This section is a guide to the connection points where you will likely want to solder hardware on to the kit version

of the Orangutan SVP.

The Orangutan SVP kit version comes with these parts:

• Six 3×4 male header blocks
