Well, I'm in need of some help also with the initial programming of the 1K Amp controller PCB.
After a long wait for the controller parts ordering and back orders, today I received my AVR STK500 ISP clone Programmer from a china distributor with some programming cable interface.
The controller board is assembled, I have 5Vdc out of the regulator, in VTG pin of the ISP 6 pin port; I have also +15VDC of the DC-DC converter output BUT no LED signage; it doesn't blink.
I just downloaded and installed AVR Studio 5.0 and Cougar_S1K_DC Controller_Firmware_v0_1 from the WIKI (cougar.c and cougar.d)
to start my atmega programming.
Now I'm stuck, what to do? I couldn't find anywhere a tutorial on the programming of this micro through the P&S files.
Nor that I know if I have a hardware malfunction, but I have a perfect 5 VDC in the buss. I was assuming that the LED will blink somehow but if the micro is not programed........?
HELP
