Actually I had visited the site before and did not realise that one could also input the hex values to convert them into the individual settings. Thanks very much for enlightening me on this! I will try the code and the hardware very soon. cheers Anjan Hi Alex

Can u please advise the external crystal oscillator frequency and the start times? I am not using avrdude so the hex values of the fuse as indicated in the makefile does not give easy indication of those best regards anjan Hi Alex

I used your make file this time and compiled using the avr tool chain within avrmacpac. Works fine. I need to try out the circuit though after flashing the controller. will keep you posted once i have assembled the circuit Cheers Anjan HI Alex

Alternately can you guide me to create the same under AVR studio 5? I had communicated to you earlier on another project (8X8 matrix project) and really appreciated your quick response that time. At home I use a MAC and could compile the file very easily with AVR studio but dont have the software any more. What would be the easiet way to do it on a MAC. really appreciate your help with this. Anjan BTW, i have already got the joystick and the buttons, so really excited to put this together. Keep up your good work! Hi Alex

Why are you powering atmega at 3.6v? It's just for protection that you are using the diodes, or there is some reason why you can't use the VBUS 5V to power the atmega?

Alex,

It was a standard atmega48 and I used a 12 MHz crystal. Cheers, Alex Hi CarlV,

I'm using an AVR ISP programmer and an atmega48-20AU, used 68ohms and 1.5k resistors, 27pf on the caps to the crystal instead of 22pf's as all I had were 27's and that should'nt matter. I appears to program okay, tried your fuse settings and also tried 0xdf as well, same results.... then when I plug it in, the system just says unrecognized deviced and keeps looping and repeating until I unplug. Can you reconfirm your fuse settings, also what is your exact version of atmega48 that you are using? Are you using an external 16mhz or 12mhz crystal (I don't have any 16mhz) Just doesn't seem to be working for me. CarlV Alex,
