Hi,
Is it possible to flash atmega via COM port?
My PC is missing LPT.

[liviudiaconu]

My programmer on COM not working ok. But I use PCMCIA-COM. If you have native COM, maybe work fine.
So, I use or LPT simple programmer with Pony Prog Or USB AVR programmer with eXtreme Burner.

For LPT i use PCMCIA-LPT with change of LPT port of PCMCIA in LPT1 and in ponyprog2000.ini in line LPTPorts write the real address of LPT port generated by PCMCIA (FFE0 and FFE8 to me).

Actually I have stationary PC. Is it possible to use PCI card if no possibility using COM?

Do you have any good schematic for GAL programmer.
Thanks
Good luck

This work fine i tested but only in WIN 95

This work fine i tested but only in WIN 95

- Which software did you use? Can you upload it here.

- Another question: do you mean that it only works in Win95 or that you only tested in Win95?

- Where can I get more information about this programmer, supported chips...

Thanks

...
same hardware and same software which I uploaded here long time ago.

GAL device is very sensible one and you need a very stable supply voltage for programming using this schematic. Otherwise it will generate a lot of troubles.

Can anybody help me with those BL cables? Still can't to figure out how to bring them to live?

Dear VCDS users,

On summer 2010 I bought the blue chinese usb/kkl cable for vag.
I use the cable in a Polo 6N2 year 2001.
Cable works fine but I have a software question.

But first look at pic "Engine_01_g3133_LAMBDA_ZONE"

I describe you the print screen:

Here are displayed groups 031, 032, 033.
Each group consists of 4 zones (zone is the term used in ELSA for VAS5051).

For example:
In group 033 these are the zones:
Zone 1 = 0.0% Bank1 Lambda Control; Zone 2 = N/A Bank1 Voltage of oxygen Sensor; Zone 3 = N/A; Zone 4 = N/A;

In this print screen I might have values at least in zone 1, 2 not only in zone 1.

You can compare this with the Elsa printout of VAS5051 in pic "ElsaVAS5051Group"

In pink I highlighted the two values that "must" be present even in VCDS.
In red there are other information not shown in VCDS.


In all groups from 001 to 255 all Zone2, 3, 4 there are N/A.

I ask you if this is a problem or if VCDS can't show all the information.

Thank you.

Try with VagCom 311.2 and KG
Good luck

I didn't because one of my cables was recognize in device manager as Ross Tech, so I thought that there is no point. But what to do with the other cable which is not recognize at all. I can't see it in device manager, MProg, FtProg, etc.

You need unsolder atmel 93C46 or xxC56 and write it,it was deleted by atmega..once you have some driver data inside,and acurate driver for it,and installed correctly you can rewrite correct .ept file by mprog

Hi,

My PC is missing LPT.

Buy 5 USD USB ISP flasher,better accurater ever then LPT or COM.

Using Khazama with it you can also read signature of chip,so u recognise very quick any problems wiring up or so on...

[mishu_b]

...
I'm agree with rsibiza - Khazama or eXtreme Burner ...cheap solution ...

Now depends by your budget what kind of tools would you like to have.

USBASP AVR Programmer - $16.00

Very cheap,16 USD only and very reliable

USBASP AVR Programmer - $16.00

Very cheap,16 USD only and very reliable

Or even from ebay and a bit more cheaper

This is the one I bought a couple months ago and is exactly the same as the one Rsibiza said above.
51 AVR ISP Programmer Downloader USBASP ATMega ATTiny | eBay

The one I bought from ebay didn't come with the original firmware from fischl.de - USBasp - USB programmer for Atmel AVR controllers but, just in case, I backed up the one inside ATMEGA8 and I flashed with the original one.

I also found that the chinese firmware had a trouble when I tried to reflash powering up the programmer with the 5V from USB. But if I used an external power supply everything was OK.

Another thing, the ebay and the one Rsibiza pointed are not exacty the same hardware from fischl.de - USBasp - USB programmer for Atmel AVR controllers

These versions don't have the jumper for "self programming" and the jumper for "slow clock". They only have the jumper for selecting the power supply (external or USB). Remember that in my case I had trouble with powering via USB... but when I changed the firmware the problem was solved.
