HAND HELD PROGRAMMER QUICK START GUIDE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1) Do not leave the programmer connected to the PC adapter or a target

system, as this will drain the battery.

LOADING FROM THE PC

1) Connect the PC adapter (dongle) to a PC USB port.

2a) Connect the long extension cable, using the end black socket, to the

PC adapter. Then connect the programmer to the end grey plug of the

extension cable - using the short ribbon cable. This method is useful

where access to the PC adapter is poor.

2b) Or, simply connect the PC adapter directly to the programmer using

the short ribbon cable.

3) To load code, follow the instructions in the software.

PROGRAMMING THE TARGET SYSTEM 3) Install and Run the Handheld Programmer software • Select the AVR device you want to use on the device screen • The next screen allows you to select whether the Fuses (not Lockbits which will always appear) should be programmed. Check the Fuse Enable box to program fuses. Notes: • The whole AVR is erased (Flash and EEPROM) when a Flash file is selected • To preserve the EEPROM data, the EESAVE fuse must be enabled. This fuse prevents the EEPROM from being erased.

• Skip FF in EEPROM Checking Skip FF in EEPROM Program will stop locations with 0xFF in your EEPROM file from being programmed. This can be used to increase programming times, or to preserve locations with ID numbers, for example. If you want to skip FF to increase programming speed, you should not Skip FF on EEPROM Verify, to ensure that your EEPROM has programmed correctly. However, if you want to use Skip FF to mask locations, you will need to check Skip FF on EEPROM Verify as well.

POWER OPTIONS There a three power options with the Handheld Programmer 1) Programmer powers target Plug into unpowered target. Connector pin 2 (Vcc) must be connected to Vcc on your board and all 4 GND pins must be connected to target ground. Use battery or external PSU. There is a 150mA current limit for powering the target.

1) This resistor should be fitted. It can larger than 10K if required, but not smaller than 1K 2) Again 100nF is a typical value. We suggest a minimum of 10nF. 3) Programming lines should be isolated from application circuit with series resistors, especially if application circuits force the state of the AVR pins. In exceptional cases, a multiplexer may be needed to isolate these lines. Capacitors on these lines may mean that a slower programming speed should be selected. 4) Optional LED line.

SIX WAY ADAPTERS Because of the need to connect more than 1 GND pin, the adapter should connect GND pins together. So, the adapter is not as straight forward as it first appears. Adapters from the 10-way DIL interface to 6-way flying leads, 6-way DIL (3 x 2 0.1” pin header), and 6-way Micromatch connectors are available from Kanda. Order Codes are: 10FLEX6 10DIL6 10MICR6 USING STK200 AND 300 with HAND HELD PROGRAMMER 1) STK200’s and STK300’s have two supply rails. Vcc and +5V.

Check the value of the resistor indicated. If the value is 1K, it should be removed. STK200’s requires no modification. SAVING SETTINGS The settings you have used can be saved for use again, in a FOB (.fob) file. To save settings, click on Save Fob button on last page, and give the file a name. To load a FOB settings file, click on Browse button on first screen and select the FOB file to load. Note: If you try and change device with a FOB file loaded, you may get unpredictable results.
