Hey there,
Basically I have the setup from lecture #2 on the site, except I opted for the serial version of the programmer because I have no parallel or serial port on my computer and figured a usb to serial cable would be the best hope.
Well everything works, and I can program the ATMega168, however the problem is the speed at which it reads/writes a hex file from/to the flash memory. Currently I'm clocking in at about 4 bytes / second. That just seems ridiculously slow.
The USB to serial cable I have is here: http://www.pimfg.net/product_detail.asp ... part=UN8BE
Does anyone have any ideas? I'd like to exhaust my options before I have to invest in another more expensive programmer. But 4 bytes per second is unbearably slow for development.
Thanks,
-Mike
I did a pretty extensive search and pretty much all that I could find that was even slightly related was this link (but not the same programmer): http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article ... rmac/print
