Are you needing the HV fuses messed with? There is a dragon I can get ahold of

I have one and we have an older cricuit in room 3. I would be interested to see how things go for you. I did purchase software that was suppose to be a work-around. I ran into some road blocks and put it back on the shelf for a later date.

To your question: No.
The Dragon is exactly what I need.

Cricut and there’s one that was donated to Textiles that is currently located with scrapbooking in Class Room 3

Is it going to mess you up if I bring that kit on Monday? I live in Hutchinson and this weekend is shaping up to be the opposite of relaxing O.o

Not in the slightest. Beggars can’t be choosers, anyway.

I have an AVRISP MKII if that helps.

Thank you. I’ll DM you in the event my rendezvous with James tomorrow is called off.

I just left it with Judith (the robotic arm) so it’s a small unassuming brown box immediately to your right when you walk in the electronics room. I’m dubious about the USB cable with it. It may be power only so keep that in mind. But it has a breadboard and headers and a breadboard.
I warn you though I haven’t learned to use it yet…

Thanks, James. I should need it for only a short time, and you’ll have it back today, if you so desire.
I will also document the process here for future reference.

Just leave it there.
Some idiot had soldered a socket on it (me) and I had to remove it. I had planned to add header pins (now done) and build a small kit for it (also now done) and then build a small tutorial to get started with programming small chips (not done 
) so it can live at the makerspace now. Whilst I ponder how the tutorial is going to look.
Or get sidetracked fixing the robot… either or LOL

I had problems right out the gate today, and I’m still not sure whether the cause was PEBKAC, improper configuration, or a true hardware fault. To rule out the latter, @SmithDrewSmith, may I borrow your programmer?

Sure. I dont have it with me but can bring it to work tomorrow and by MakeICT on my lunch. Or we can work something else out.

And you tried a different usb cable?
That one is dubious IMHO

Yes, I brought my own, which I know to be good. I plugged the other end into one of the ports on my laptop. Do you see an issue with that?

LOL I didn’t mean anything by it.
Sometimes my biggest problem is the easiest. I’ll have to see about a new AVR programmer for the E lab. Sorry about that!

I didn’t mean to sound indignant! That was a genuine question. As I was searching for a solution, I read somewhere that perhaps the Dragon might need more power than an ordinary USB port can provide, like a hub with its own power supply, for instance.

Looks like it should be fine. Unless there is a short on the board. Is 5v present when everything is hooked up?

Presumably, but I do not know. When connected over USB, my laptop could read from the Dragon (e.g., its serial number), but I kept getting errors indicating no communication with the target when I tried to give commands.
I don’t have Atmel Studio, so I wasn’t able to verify.
