Hi. Currently, I am working on getting the raspberry pi 2 to communicate with my iboard avr via a usb-to-serial-port adapter cable for the main purpose of controlling the dc motors already connected to the iboard avr(atmega16). I have already installed the packages for avrdude and enabled the python serial port on rpi 2.
After installing the avrdude libraries, As instructed, I tried both siprog and ponyser and got the following results:
avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000 (retrying)
Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.09s
avrdude: Device signature = 0x000102

avrdude: erasing chip
avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: reading input file "0xff"

avrdude: safemode: Sorry, reading back fuses was unreliable. I have given up and exited programming mode
avrdude done. Thank you.

In both options , I had to include -F to override the signature check otherwise, I was getting this:
avrdude -c ponyser -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -e -p m16 -U lfuse:w:0xff:m -U hfuse:w:0xc9:m
avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
Overall, the problem now seems to be with reading the lfuse for some reason. Any thoughts?
