Hi there! I've made a programmer but is not working(don' t know if is the uC or the programmer fault) . Sice i can't test if the uC is fried, i want to test if the programmer do its job. For that I attached some leds coresponding to the MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET and VCC. I use Pony Prog for reading the device.
The serial Probe test inside PonyProg said "Test ok". When i try to read or Write, the MOSI and SCK led start to flash (alternate, with MOSI more brighter). VCC led is on. The other 2 leds (RST and MISO) are not doing anything. Can somenone please tell me how those leds should behave so the programmer work well? Or do u know any onther method to test it? Thank you!
