Why are you downloading the older Studio version? 4.13 is the latest, no point putting up with OLD bugs when you can get FRESH NEW ones :-) Regards John Samperi ******************************************************** Ampertronics Pty.

OK, now I am beginning to beleive my STK-500 may be faulty I just plugged an AT90S2313 into it. Correct socket, all jumpers are set appropriately, per the User Guide. When I turn it on, the "Target Power LED begins slowly blinking (a condition not documented in the User Guide) and the Status LED begins also blinking slowly, which the USer GU8ide asserts indicates a short circuit on the AREF power line. Weird. I also cannot read or write the to chip without getting the same meaningless error messages I have been referring to all along, including the error message CLAIMING a log has been written. I can locate *NO* newly written log fiels anywhere on my system (I have used Start->Search->Files and Folders to no avail). This makes no sense. Has anyone in here ever received, or heard of anyone receiving an STK-500 that didn;t work correctly? Mine came from Digikey a few weeks ago OH, yerah, power supply: I am running mine off a 12 volt rail, and the regulatro is not even noticeably warm to the touch, so I don;t think that is a problem. tom

Double-click on them to see if they work. If not, then there's something wrong with your HTML helpfile connfiguration in Windows. This can possibly be fixed by downloading the HTML helpfile toolit from Microsoft and installing that. I'd also use Windows update to ensure that you're current with patches because this has been patched several times over the last couple years. If worse comes to worse, and I hope it doesn't, you can use chmmagic to convert .chm files to the .pdf format. Eric

Just for chagrins, have you measured VCC? The reg might be cool, because it's not outputting much current, because it's blown.. Mine is running a M128 with NO leds on, and the left reg is very warm, right is relatively cool, with 12V input. "very warm" as in "I don't want to keep my finger on it"

Well I don't think I can help much more without you answering questions, sorry. As a suggestion I would unplug everything off the STK and have a look at VTG and VREF and FINALLY tell us what the ISP frequency is set to like I have asked a few times before. The 12V rail for the STK is it regulated? If not what is the ripple on that rail? I don't know of any log files that gets written by the STK, the only info you get is at the bottom of the programming screen as far as I know.

My WinBlows auto-updates whenever Mickey$hit says there is an update
available.

I suppose. Or better, still, give up on WinBlows and move to
GCC/GNU tools and linux.
