I'm thinking if you use the UISP programmer with the STK500 board for AVR programming, you may have run into this already (I hope!!) I've been programming AVR devices with good success using uisp from unix (macOSX flavour) and using the STK500 with no problems. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of briefly using a PC with AVR-Studio on it, and it re-programmed my STK500 with updated fir...

Hello, Because I am such a slow dumbass Digikey (de.digikey.com) meanwhile raises the price for the Atmel STK500 from around 64 Euro to around 110 Euro. Does anyone know if/where I can still find an STK500 for something around 70 instead of 110? Thank you! Regards, johannes

Hello, Since the Atmel STK500 is much cheaper in the US than in Europe (79USD in the US, around 120EUR in Europa are the prices I found) I'd need a recommendation for a good webshop in the US. Of course it should be cheap ;), reliable. Shipping and handling shouldn't be too expensive (to the US, not to Europe; I'd ex-/import it myself). Thank you very much for any hints and tips!

Hi all, I was just trying to use an STK500 AVR development board. My version of AVR studio told me I should upgrade its firmware. I did, and as luck would have it the power lead came out during the upgrade. Now when I turn on the STK I only get the red power LED. No other LEDs light up, and I cannot talk to the board via AVRStudio. I need to get this board running ASAP. Is it possib...

There isn't a way to specify the fuse bit settings of the Atmel AVR as directives in the assembly language program, is there? Have I overlooked something? It seems awkward to have to begin every program with a comment telling me what boxes to check on the STK500 "Fuses" menu.

I'm interested in learning about and programming embedded microcontrollers. I'm on a shoestring budget though. I'm looking at the Atmel AVR chips since there is a large user community for them.

It seems to me that from a hardware perspec...

Has anyone encountered problems getting uisp to run in cygwin? I'm using 20040311, and savannah.nongnu.org seems to be down so I can't check for a newer version. 20040311 works fine inside Linux and MacOS, but when I try to use it in cygwin the STK500 doesn't respond at all. I see some activity on the serial port with a scope, but nothing coming back.

The cables I'm using to connect master and slave are some "ran...
