E/X-Mag Microcontroller Programming (Atmel AT90S2313)

[hitech]

My laptop has both serial and USB, so I don't care.

Actually, I think I have a serial to USB somewhere...

[Rudz]

[GoblinGreen]

Serial port is good for me as well. I dont mind.

[Jotsy]

[cledford]

Serial is fine for me as well.

Hate to do this guys buy it looks as if it will be later than expected. I called yesterday and they said everything should ship on time but when I called today they didn't have the parts to ship... There's no word on how soon they will be ready but be sure that as soon as I know anything I'll post it. Would anyone be interested in a serial programmer, if i could get them as a substitute, if it meant getting it sooner? I use a serial one and it works fine I just got a usb to serial adapter($15) for when i need to use a laptop. The price would be the same. I actually checked into this before but they said that they were sold out but I only check one source. I could try harder on that if there was interest.

You can put me down for a serial as well if that means it will show up sooner.

Alright one of the distributers says 2-28-06 and the other says 4-7-06... everyone I've checked with is sold out of the serial ones as well... and won't be getting any more since they're out of production. I'm currently exploring the possibility of using a different brand for the AVRISP other than Atmel, but so far those results don't look to promising. Atmel makes the chip we are trying to flash to so it would be a good idea to use Atmel's programmer to flash an Atmel chip but there may be other alternatives.

If anyone is extreemly eager to get this I will agree to flash guns for free until the programmers are available. You will just have to pay for shipping both ways. Basicly just make sure you put the return shipping label on the inside of the box and that way I won't have to mess with anything. Contact me by email ([email protected]) if you're interested in this option.

Also if any of you have connections to get an Atmel AVRISP (serial) from eBay or wherever let me know and I'll make the cable for you. Again contact my by email please.

The one that says 4-7-06 on their web page just emailed me and said 3-10-06... I assume it has something to do with me having placed that order a long time ago and being fairly high up in the queue.

nice

now thast better, thank you for doing everything you can to get these to us..it shows true dedication and responsiblity for a project you undertook, and i appreciate it..you sir show more determination than others..

Here's one option, Digikey emailed me back and said that the ATSTK500 would also work for this application the only problem is that they are $79 instead of $34. They do have 90 of them is stock though and would therefore be available immediately. If anyone is interested in this as an option you would have to pay me the additional difference plus shipping split between however many want to go with this option and I would have to order one first and verify that It does indeed work. If this happens I will add a section to the User Guide to help explain how to connect to this device. Again if anyone wants go this route send me an email at [email protected]

You are correct that's the link... Ok I've ordered one to test to make sure they will work. As soon as I verify that it does work I will make a post so that anyone who does not want to wait for the AVRISP mkII can get this for an additional $50.

Do you have an address where we can see the programmer that we are waiting on?

Never mind. Is this it?http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/to...+&tool_id=3808
