Step 2:
Connecting AVRISP mkII with the robot
1. AVRISP mkII use 6 pin FRC connector for ISP, while Fire Bird V robot uses 10 pin FRC
connector for programming. We need to use AVRISP adaptor to convert 6 pin to 10 pin
connector. Figure 2.45 shows the 6 to 10 pin converter for the In System Programming.
2. Connect AVRISP adaptor between robot and AVRISP mkII. Insert 10 pin FRC connector
in the Fire Bird V ATMEGA2560 robot and turn the power on. For ISP port location and
other precautions refer to section 2.7.
3. Turn on the robot
Step 3:
Reading the microcontroller signature
Follow Step 4 if you are connecting AVRISP mkII with the robot for the first time or if any
problem occurs during programming.
1. Go to Main tab
2. Select "ATMEGA2560" microcontroller.
3. Click on the "Read Signature" button.
4. It will read the signature and if its matches with the microcontroller signature, we will get
the confirmation as "Signature matches selected device" as shown in the below window.
Now we are ready to load hex file on the robot.
