If you want to program your Arduino with the Atmel Studio you will overwrite the Arduino bootloader.
Atmel avrisp how to#
If the software could read your device information you are ready to program the Arduino! But before please read how to backup the Arduino bootloader.Īttention: Backup your Arduino Bootloader Click on the „Device information“ bar on the left side and press the „Read“ button:ĥ. After configuration of the device we want to read the device information. Choose for Tool the „AVRISP mkII“, for the device „ATmega32U4 and for interface „ISP“ and press „Apply“:Ĥ. Start the Atmel Studio software and open the menu „Tools“ -> „Device Programming“:ģ. Then connect your AVRISP with your PC and the board:Ģ. Connect the micro USB cable with your Arduino board.

But everytime i’ve got the error message „avrdude: usbdev_open() did not find any usb device usb“. So i tried to transfer a small test program with help of the AVRISP and the arduino IDE to my Arduino. In my opinion a small, powerful and not really expensive device. This device has also a lot of other features. To save time and nerves, i decided to use the AVRISP mkII programmer – a device which is able to program AVR devices over the SPI interface.
Atmel avrisp driver#
Finally after a lot of attempts the driver were successful installed, but evertime after i’ve connected the PC with the Arduino board (by micro USB cable), the virtual Arduino COM port appeared for a short moment in the hardware manager and after few seconds the COM port disappeares and shows instead an ‚unknown device‘.

Atmel avrisp install#
Then i have tried to install the Windows USB driver which are delivered with the arduino IDE. I installed the arduino IDE (currently 1.0.5) under Windows7 (64bit).

Probably you have the same problem like me: Some days ago i have bought a tiny Arduino Micro board to play a little bit around with them.
