Hello,
I have experience with programing PICs in basic, and coding in LabView. I needed a small development board with CAN capabilities for a prototype controller. I purchased the AVR-CAN AT90CAN128 development board and an AVR-USB-JTAG device to program it. I am using AVR studio 4.16 and Programmer’s Notepad 2.0.8.
I am having problems communicating with the AVR-USB-JTAG device. I downloaded and installed the drivers suggested on olimex’s website, http://www.olimex.com/dev/avr-jtag.html for the USB/Serial driver. When I go to setup the device using AVR Studio “Debug>>Select device and debug platform” Chosing “JTAG ICE” from the Debug platform entry box, and “AT90CAN128” from the device entry box yields a popup window “The JTAG ICE adapter was not detected. Check the emulator power and the serial cable and click Retry. To abort, click Cancel.” I am using the proper COM port, and the device is powered, both the AVR-CAN development board has a red LED indicating power, as well as the AVR-JTAG-USB device.
I figure that I am doing something wrong or there is a setting I still need to configure properly, if anyone can offer some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
