SuomeksiIn the following pages on this article you'll find some example codes that you can use to test your circuit. Let's copy&paste the first example code into the middle window.
AVR Studio, code pasted
Now navigate into the Project menu (up left) and from there goto "Configuration Options" and you'll see the following screen. Select the right device for the project, attiny45 in this case (or what you are using). Fill in the frequency in Hz, which is 1000000 Hz (1 MHz) for the attiny45 with factory settings. Click OK.
AVR Studio, project settings
Remember to save your project now. Navigate to Build menu and click Build (or hit F7 on your keyboard) and if all goes well, no errors should be there and you'll see a text like this in the message window.
AVR Studio, project compiled
As you can see, the led flashing program doesn't take much space from the chip. After this is done you are ready to continue to the programming of the chip.
Getting the code to the chip - Programming
As we are using the parallel port programming cable, we'll need to use an external programming software to get the code to the chip. Now start the PonyProg program.
PonyProg
Select File -> Open device file (or click the yellow folder icon). Navigate to your project directory and there you'll find a directory named "default". From there choose the "project_name.hex", in this case "test_project.hex". This file contains the compiled program in a form the chip understands.
PonyProg, hex file loaded
You can see two drop down boxes, find "AVR micro" to the first one and "AVR Auto" or "ATtiny45" to the second one. Now navigate to Setup -> Interface Setup... and choose "Parallel" and "Avr ISP I/O" from the dropdown menu below it. Click OK. Go to Setup -> Calibration and click Yes. After this connect your programming cable to your computer and the chip if you haven't already done this and give some power to the chip too.
PonyProg, hex file loaded
UPDATE 2009-06-15: Fresh install of PonyProg comes without anything assigned to the yellow arrow -button so head to the "Command" -menu and from there you'll find "Program Options". Select the following options with the checkboxes (as seen on the photo below): Reload files (reloads files automatically when pressed, optional), Erase, Write Program memory (FLASH) and Write Data memory (EEPROM). Click OK.
Click on the yellow arrow on the second line of icons, this will start the programming cycle. Let the program do its work and if you've done everything right you should get the following message that the programming has succeeded and the led should be flashing happily on the board. If there are some errors, check and double check all your connections!
PonyProg, program succesful
