Re: Firmware update with USBasp


 

Hi Bruce, all

NOTE: The chip will not always be ATmega328P. QRP Labs chips can sometimes be ATmega328P, sometimes ATmega328. Functionally, for our purposes, they are equivalent. We use both types, depending on availability and cost. To know which one you have, you could peel off the paper label with the version ID on it (anyway you are going to update the version ID so the label will become out of date!). Or, just try ATmega328P; then if AVRdude (etc) gives you an error message about the device signature being incorrect, change it to ATmega328 and try again.?

I ordered one from eBay, from seller effortagain (shipped from USA) and used it successfully last night to update the firmware in my QCX.
Delivery was quick. $6.88 total cost. Had to download drivers found via Google search and used software previously mentioned. One thing to keep in mind- in the programming software, select ATmega328P, not ATmega328 as the target processor type.
