How to Install Progisp on PC



____________________________________



USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers. It simply consists of an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed, and that makes it low cost USB programmer.
Important features are:

  • Works under multiple platforms. Linux, Mac OS X and Windows are tested.
  • Jumper for 5v supply.
  • Header Pin to provide easy interface for various ISP header pin.
  • SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1,5MHz).
Install USBASP as simple usb device.





Uploading hex file to AVR Microcontroller:


To transfer the Hex file to controller we require a software to access USBASP. There are lots of softwares available on internet.Software which we find easy to use with all features is Prog ISP.
Download: ProgISP 1.7.2

Note: no need to install install Prog ISP just unzip the file and click on progisp.exe executable file to launch the software.

Hardware Set up:

Connect USBASP to your AVR microcontroller board using 6 pin connectors, where 5v is optional, if your board is already powered by some external 5v supply than remove the jumper(vcc on/off).

Troubleshooting:
Prog ISP will show error in case:
  1. Supply is not provided to target controller.
  2. wrong connection to Target microcontroller.
  3. USBASP not detected.
Note: keep the Jumper (J1) always connected.

Getting Started with Prog ISP:




  • Select Chip: Select the microcontroller for uploading Hex file.
  • Load Flash: This tab is used to select the Hex file,Click this tab to open browse window and select the Hex file.
  • Task Window: Select the operation which you want to complete. basic operation required to burn hex file are shown above.
  • Auto: Click on this tab to start burning the hex file along with all the operation checked in task box.
  • Fuse: This tab is used to open Fuse window as shown below,  where you can read or write low and high value of fuses.
