Hi, i made this burner as given in the circuit.
>Calibration ok
>Interface setup.. Test OK
>Comand >Erase> Device missing or unknown device(-24)
All connections are right. I don’t know what to do..
I tried giving external supply to the uC with +5v vcc but no use.
I also changed BIOS settings i.e parallel port mode> Bidirectiona
Am i supposed give external clock??
Any help is greatly appreciated..

Awesome tutorial and schematics for beginners like me.As you said I have to write programs in AVR Studio(v4.17) then save it in .hex file.Then I have to open the file(.hex) in PonyProg and then I have to perform burn operation.

Ques:
1.Can I use 10K resistor?will it make any change?
2.Can I use AVR Studio(v4.17) to burn using this schematics?

Please inform me asap becoz I have to show it to my faculty within 17.10.09

hello.. i’m new in uC.. i’m having problem with the ponyprog. i’ve build the board as given blog.

In the ponyprog Setup -> Interface Setup -> Probe result is OK.
But now if i want to write anything to my Atmega32L it gives error as device not found (-24)

Where is the problem. I’ve checked the connection twice. Changed the parallel port config to bi-directional in bios. Where is the problem ?????????!!!!!!!!

I’m not using any external power supply and i’m not using any crystal.. i’m very new so plz help me out. another question, is my mega32L damaged ???

@Arjun: PonyProg writes off a given hex file on the MCU memory and you use AVR Studio to generate HEX file from C Code by successfully compiling it. I am not sure what you are trying to do here, maybe if you give more details.
