Hi All, Been away for awhile but I'm back (for awhile anyway.
I'm having problems with the "Make All" tool in Programmers Notepad. If I uninstall and then reinstall (as user or administrator, make no difference)I can "sometimes" get the Make All tool to work once or maybe twice and then I get this in the Output window of PN:

avrdude -c avr109 -p m168 -b 115200 -P COM3 -U flash:w:LCDScrollTest.hex:a

Connecting to programmer: .

If I run Make from the command line it works fine. Any ideas? Thanx John

I see this behavior when I forget to exit the terminal emulator before running make. Any other program that is connected to the port will interfere with make.

Noter, Well it's true I did have the dos window open. However. even afetr I closed it, unplugged the USB cable and replugged it back in, still getting the same message. John

Well, it was just a thought. Maybe you could reboot and then go directly to programmers notepad and see if make will run ok. If it still doesn't then must be some other cause.

Well, thanx for the thought. Tried the reboot and ran PN with only it open. Stil same message.

Apparetnly the program know the chip is there becasue it seems to erase it. Don't know what to think.

Yes, it's working until it starts transferring the program in blocks of data. If it was wiring or anything physical it wouldn't work from the command prompt either so it's hard to say what the problem is but seems to be something with programmers notepad. Sorry but I can't help much more because I run linux so can't really do any testing or verification. Maybe another windows user will come along with some ideas or at least be able to reproduce the problem.
