Thank you so much Don for that :)
Yea we have tryed all kinds of books and help files, but thats about a
million pages to go trough. Thats why we thought about joining this
group and ask.

We got it to run with AVR Studio now but no luck in the CodeVisionAVR
program. Can even read the signature file in the last program. Just
says we dont have power supply or the chip is broken.
What are the main difference between those two programs, do we really
need it or can we use something else?

Again, thx
