    Hi,

    So far... Ponyprog2000 runs now under vista x64.

    Thank you Thanos for your file and help.

    Now the problem is that if i try to test the interface like in Thanos's vids I get a failed message. Com-port is set to 3 cause I can not change that in ponyprog.
    I'm using a serial to usb-converter and have set that also to com3.

    Hope I did a good job on the board. The green leds are on.

    What can be the problem?

    Hi,

    Take a screenshot of the error message and post it here (CTRL-Printscreen and paste into a Paint like program)

    Does ponyprog detects correctly the ISP interface if you use the Probe button?

    Hi,

    When I hit the probe button the error test failed appeared in a notice box. I just found out
    that is was a wrong setting in converter-software. Test passed...

    Now I get the error message device missing or unknown device (-24). :? When reading the security bits...

    I can't test it myself with the FTDI serial adapter I have, cause in my system it takes COM5 while ponyprog uses up to COM4...

    You can try setting the serial printer option on the adapter's configuration:

    If it works, you must expect to take some time fo the firmware to be downloaded on the chip cause the serial handshake protocol is emulated...!

    What crystal you are using on the AMC? in some cases ATmega8535 chip doesn't work with 24Mhz crystal, and you have to use lower value crystal.

    Try with these crystals also:
    22.1184 Mhz
    18.4320 Mhz
    14.3181 Mhz
