4.2.3 Using Arduino IDE with AVR-ISP-MK2

1. Download latest Arduino IDE and run it

2. Plug the AVR-ISP-MK2 to the computer and follow chapter 4.2.1 for firmware and driver install

3. Power your target Arduino-compatible board via the AVR-ISP-MK2 (setting the jumpers

properly) or externally (make sure AVR-ISP-MK2 doesn't provide additional voltage – TERGET

jumper is set to OFF)

4. Make sure you use the correct interface. If you need adapter cable (10-pin ICSP to 6-pin ICSP) –

please check the schematic at the next chapter – 4.2.4

5. Set the correct values for board and programmer in the Arduino IDE – Tools->Board and Tools-

>Programmer.

6. Open a simple blinking LED example and adjust the pin values according to the schematic of

your device (some boards doesn't require a pin number change).

7. Remember to click “Upload Using Programmer”! By default the right arrow in the interface

would attempt to upload via the bootloader!

Special mention for Olimex boards – sometimes the board refuses to reset before programming

when using Arduino. Try holding the reset button and release it simultaneously while clicking

“Upload Using Programmer”.
