Need Help Connecting Atmel Ice to Atiny 44A

[Benji123]

Hi All

I'm trying to connect atmel ice programmer with a 10 wire squid cable through a 1so 14 clip to an Atiny 44A , but everytime I try to connect it says the voltage is too low 0.2V

The instructions that are with the atmel ice are a little complicated for a beginner and I'm not really sure if I'm connecting to the correct pins on the chip ?


Thanks

Benji

The Attiny 44 does not support JTAG.
That work at ATMEGA 16 and bigger Controllers only.
You can only use SPI programming.

Look at Table 3.5 . That should work with Your controller.

Hi

Thanks for your reply

I've tried everything to connect the atmel ice to the attiny 44 without success


I have the squid wires connected to the AVR side of the atmel ice and followed the 3.5 section instructions , and using a 3M SO14 clip to connect

It is very difficult to get a good connection using the clip as the pins seem to be pushing out


Is there a better programmer and contact method to connect to the attiny 44 ?
