I've purchased this programmer:

and cannot get FC6.1.1 to find it or use it. It works well with arduino software, so I know it is functioning. Here is the parameters I use in FC6.1.1:

Let us know how you get on with the programmer, the AVRISP is now end of life so we are looking for a replacement. The unit you use looks good but I think ideally we need something in a protective case.

Hi Rob,

Ok Please can you try this alternate batch file.

It needs to be placed here "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 6\compilers\avr\batchfiles" in your installation.

Fingers crossed this one will work correctly.

Thanks for letting me know and glad it's working :D

I've put the new batchfile into the code base now so it will be fixed in the next release.
