Hello SparkFun Forum,
Running Window 11 and the Arduino IDE 2.0.4 and using
ATtiny85
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9378
with
a SparkFun Tiny AVR Programmer
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11801
Using the tutorial at
http://highlowtech.org/?p=1695
the
At Arduino IDE menu File > Preferences the URL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damel … index.json
was added to the Additional Board Manager URL textbox
Then at the Boards Manager in Tools > Board > Board Manager the attiny by Davos A. Mellis was installed.
Then at Tools > Board > ATtiny > AtTiny/25/45/85 was chosen
The 8 Mhz internal clock was and the Programmer was set as USBTinyISP.
But the Arduino IDE at the bottom right says "ATTiny/25/45/85 not connected.
And the Tools > Port option is greyed out.
At Windows Device Manager when the SparkFun Tiny AVR Programmer (with a ATtiny 85 on the board)
is plugged in, under Other Devices a listing for FabISP can be seen which disappears the board is unplugged.
Similarly, and to eliminate the cable and the USB port as points of failure,
when an Arduino Uno is hooked up to the
PC the status bar at the lower right
in the Arduino IDE says “Arduino Uno on COM9” and the is a listing in the Device Manager
Ports (COM & LPT) > Arduino Un0 (COM9) which disappears when the board is disconnected>
It is surmised that because the Device Manager sees FabISP
and the FabISP is not listed in the Tools > Pro0grammer options that
this the failure.
Programmer options tried: Arduino as ASP, ArduinoISP, AVRISP,
How can I get the IDE to recognize the Tint AVR Programmer?
Thanks.
