This example uses free AVRDUDESS, which can be downloaded here ĪVRDUDESS interfaces looks like this. The original AVRDude software is a command line but various GUI’s have been developed to make it nicer to use.Look on Sourceforge or other repositories for free versions. Your AVRISP-MKII is now set to work with AVRDude software. Plug and re-plug your programmer for the new driver to take effect. Click Replace Driver Change driver to libusb-win32 Then, select the AVRISP mkII in the drop down listį. Select Options and check List All Devicesĭ. Here we will use ZADIG, which is a free GNU USB driver installer, because it makes it really simple.Ĭ. Luckily, other people have solved this problem and there are free solutions that make this task much easier. It uses the free GNU LibUSB driver rather than the default Microchip driver used by Atmel Studio, so the first task is to change the driver. Using with AVRDUDEĪVRDUDE is free software used to program AVR microcontrollers, including Arduino boards.

Run Studio and choose Tools -> Program AVR -> Connect and this dialog appears Choose AVRISP-mkII and click ConnectĪtmel Studio help gives lots more details on using AVRISP mkII in Studio. Just plug in the programmer and Windows will Auto-detect and install the USB driver. Just to refresh your memory or for new users, AVRISP-MKII is really easy to use with Studio.

Atmel Studio fully supports AVRISP-MKII and it is simple to install and use with Studio but it can also be used with AVRDude and Great Cow Basic compiler. Atmel have stopped making AVRISP-MKII but Kanda sell a Waveshare version that is identical to the original.
