'KROT2-XM' (mole), new project Xmega32

hi

Add zeptoprog clearer pictures when connected to cable

hex not install

Probably you didn't read in detail procedure and means used, described in my previous post.
All you need is explained there, read carefully again.

Here photos of cable/wire connection on programmers side (Header A):

hi

thank you very much for detail

ubuntu linux fuse setting???

ubuntu linux fuse setting???

All settings needed are incorporated in Avrdude Terminal command given above in post #432. No other settings are needed.

For further debate, you need to detailed describe your XMEGA flashing procedure, with some Terminal status photos inclusive. I am a little lost in your unclear an short comments.

Attention:

- All supply points ("pins") at XMEGA chip should be proper supplied (XMEGA chip is not supplied over programmer in this case), independently or incorporated in completed KROT2 board as in my photo.

- your HEX code file should be put in folder available to Avrdude and not elsewhere.

- proper version of Xmega chip is ATXMEGA32A4 (AU)

hi wm6

I wrote hex with atmel studio v4.19

Can you describe briefly wonder of the circuit calibration

thanks

I wrote hex with atmel studio v4.19

Can you describe briefly wonder of the circuit calibration

Atmel Studio is named from version 6.0, earlier version for Windows are named AVR Studio, inclusive your AVR Studio 4.19.

Atmel Studio is quite large and can consume a lot of computer hardware resources.

You will need the »AVRISP mkII« driver anyway, and that is only available by downloading Atmel Studio (this is also true of the official AVRISP mkII from Atmel).

From the Atmel website (AVRISP mkII docs):

It is required to use AVR Studio 4.12 or later in order to use the Atmel AVRISP mkII.

Latest version of the Atmel Studio can be found at http://www.atmel.com/atmelstudio.

Once Atmel Studio is installed, press the PROG button (button A) and hold while plugging in the ZeptoProg II.
This will run the AVRISP mkII compatible AVR programmer.
LED A should be lit and LED B should be pulsing on and off.

You will then be prompted for the AVRISP mkII driver.
By default, this is located in the Program Files/Atmel/AVR Jungo USB directory.
Point the installer to the appropriate subdirectory for your PC architecture (usb32 or usb64) and install the driver.

Do not use the driver in the AVR Tools/usb directory!

Once the driver is loaded, the device will appear as the AVRISP mkII device under Jungo in the device manager.

See the manual section titled "Using Atmel Studio (AVR Studio)" on page 18 for a quick intro on using the graphical programming utility.


The second option is AVRDUDE, which runs on Windows as well.

However, since downloading Atmel Studio is required to get the driver anyway, this will just add complexity.

If you want to use AVRDUDE anyway, that is covered on page 9.

Note however, the AVRDUDE maintainer inadvertently removed support (in 6.x) for all AVRISP mkII programmers based on the LUFA USB library.
Version 6.x is required for newer XMEGAs.
In the meantime, a patched version of AVRDUDE 6.0.1 for Windows is available on the website (http://www.mattairtech.com/index.php/development-boards/zeptoprog-ii.html, look for the FAQ).

So, AVRDUDE for Windows, instal and use procedure :

1) Download and install the official AVRDUDE 6.0.1 from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/avrdude-6.0.1-mingw32.zip

2) Download the patched version of AVRDUDE 6.0.1 for Windows from the MattairTech website (see above).

3) Replace the avrdude.exe file from the official installation with the patched version.

4) Install the LibUSB filter driver (see page 9)

http://radiodom.ucoz.ru/forum/7-22-4 here part list I guess wrong
I did it krot2 this part list but not working good
adc bottom line 249 up line 3058

everyone did it schematic or any part list
thank you

[SimonS]

I use this part list. It is OK (at lest for SMD) http://radiodom.ucoz.ru/platy.rar

[gurdal]

detector working but I need to know how to adjust to get best sensitivity Pls explain shortly additionaly I built dip part list circuit same as schematic it will same with schematic or will use a different schematic?

or if has difference pls explane which parts will be used for dip

What are the different components used in the scheme???

[Finderskeepers]

Hi all,

Looks like a nice project.

I have a detech 13" ultimate coil that works well with my tgsl. Can this coil be used with this project.

Thanks and regards.

Martin

Mole2 V11 firmware

I just installed the V11 firmware. and it wont display the large numbers, and it locks up after entering the configuration modes. anyone else had any experience with this?

[ANDREW K2]

Need to clean EPPROM This can be done before programming or press the "+" and "-" and turn the unit on. True then have to re-configure the device ...

mole2

Ok, I figured out how to setup large numbers and I got the display to work. I have been working on this for months now and I still cant get the device to operate without random beeping. I am using the single sided Dip design. I adjusted ratio of R7 and R8 to get URX to be able to set to zero. I set A=0 I=0 and by lowering the frequency, and shorting RX I got URX =0. Ok, then connected DD coil and reduced to about 200mv. Ive tried changing ground balance, coil balance, frequency, gain and power. It is running at 8300 KHZ. Still random beeping! shielded or non-shielded! Depth good, about 10" on US quarter, and good discrimination of ferrous metals.I am wondering if I should try swapping out MCP601 or atxmega32 is bad.

Still random beeping! shielded or non-shielded!

Random beeping in field away from technical EMI

or

random beeping during air tests in house?

You can expect random beeping setting and testing detector in house near to different sources of EMI.

random beeping

Hi WM6, yes beeping all the time - doesnt matter if inside house testing or outside testing away from city. Im just wondering if it could be the op-amp or maybe leaking electrolytics, although I tested them with a ESR meter before installation.
