connected to.

On the Monitor Options tab you must specify the upload speed of 9600, Monitor delay of 1 and Prefix delay 1.

When you press the Program button the Terminal Emulator screen will pop up:

A special toolbar is now visible.

You must press the Program enable button to enable the programmer. When you enable the programmer the right baud rate will be set.

When you are finished you must press the Enable button again to disable it.

This way you can have a micro connected to your COM port that works with a different BAUD rate.

There is an option to select between FLASH and EEPROM.

The prompt will show the current mode which is set to FLASH by default.

The buttons on the toolbar allow you to :

ERASE, PROGRAM, VERIFY, DUMP and set the LOCKBITS. When DUMP is selected you will be asked for a file name.

When the DUMP is ready you must CLOSE the LOGFILE where the data is stored. This can be done to select the CLOSE LOGFILE option form the menu.

MCS Universal Interface Programmer

The MCS Universal Interface programmer allows you to customize the pins that are used for the ISP interface. The file prog.settings stores the various interfaces.

;how to use this file to add support for other programmers

;first create a section like [newprog]

; then enter the entries:

;BASE= $hexaddress

;MOSI= address in form of BASE[+offset] , bit [,inverted]

;CLOCK= same as MOSI

;RESET=same as MOSI

;MISO=same as MOSI

;The bit is a numer that must be written to set the bit

;for example 128 to set bit 7

;Optional is ,INVERTED to specify that inverse logic is used

;When 128 is specified for the bit, NOT 128 will be written(127)

[FUTURELEC]

;tested and ok BASE=$378 MOSI=BASE+2,1,inverted CLOCK=BASE,1 RESET=BASE,2 MISO=BASE+1,64

[sample] ;tested and ok BASE=$378 MOSI=BASE,1 CLOCK=BASE,8 RESET=BASE,4

MISO=BASE+1,128,INVERTED

[stk200] ;tested and ok BASE=$378 MOSI=BASE,32 CLOCK=BASE,16

RESET=BASE,128

MISO=BASE+1,64

Four programmers are supported : Futurelec, Sample and STK200/STK300 and WinAVR/ SP12.

To add your own programmer open the file with notepad and add a new section name. For the example I will use stk200 that is already in the file.

[stk200]

The LPT base address must be specified. For LPT1 this is in most cases $378. $ means hexadecimal.

The pins that are needed are MOSI, CLOCK, RESET and MISO.

Add the pin name MOSI =

After the pin name add the address of the register. For the STK200 the data lines are used so BASE must be specified. After the address of the register, specify the bit number value to set the pin high. Pin 0 will be 1, pin 1 would be 2, pin 2 would be 4 etc. D5 is used for the stk so we specify 32.

When the value is set by writing a logic 0, also specify, INVERTED. After you have specified all pins, save the file and restart BASCOM.

Select the Universal Programmer Interface and select the entry you created.

After you have selected an entry save your settings and exit BASCOM. At the next startup of BASCOM, the settings will be used.

The following picture shows the LPT connector and the relation of the pins to the LPT registers.

Always add your entry to the bottom of the file and email the settings to support@mcselec.com so it can be added to BASCOM.

STK500 Programmer

When you select the STK500 programmer, BASCOM will run the files named stk500.exe that is installed with AVR Studio.

That is why you have to specify the file location of the stk500.exe The normal STK500 support will erase, and program the flash.

The STK500.EXE supports a number of Atmel programmers which all use the STK500 V1 or V2 protocol.

For the AVR ISP mkII, you need to supply the serial number of the USB programmer. The USB port will be used then instead of the serial port.

The extended STK500 support will show the following window:
