Trying to program ATmega1284p micro

Hello,

I am trying to program an ATmega1284P micro in circuit with a JTAGICE3 programmer. I am using Atmel studio 6.1

The dialog box keeps telling me that the target device has got 0V on it. Do you know how i can solve this. Is their somewhere where i have to tell it that i am expecting the USB to give the 5V?

You need to provide a separate supply to the board with the Atmel programmers that I’ve used.

yes ive now done that and itr still wont program, it complains the connections arent right but they are.

I am wondering if we should instead buy the AVRISP programmer instead and simply use that…within AVR studio environment…just literally shovel the hex file in and jobs done?..Atmel Studio and JTAGICE3 seems a bit complicated.

Yes, but AVR MKII ISP programmers are getting harder to find.

If you don’t often use the debugging, it’s good to have a basic ISP.

I use a AVRISP MKII with the Arduino IDE to program my 1280’s and 644’s
