How to use Orangutan SVP-1284P with Arduino

Support A-Star and Orangutan

I try to search all forum but no any working instruction for use SVP-1284p with Arduino 1.01.
Please help.

Thank you,

Hello, Sarawuth.

The Orangutan SVP-1284P is not compatible with the Arduino IDE. Please see our AVR Programming Quick Start Guide:

Dear David,

I just found this.

github.com/maniacbug/mighty-1284p

I download his platform and put it in \arduino-1.0.1\hardware\mighty-1284p

Then I edited clock from 16MHz to 20MHz boards.txt in \arduino-1.0.1\hardware\mighty-1284p\

##############################################################

mighty.name=Original Mighty 1284p 20MHz
mighty.upload.protocol=arduino
mighty.upload.maximum_size=129024
mighty.upload.speed=57600
mighty.bootloader.low_fuses=0xff
mighty.bootloader.high_fuses=0xdc
mighty.bootloader.extended_fuses=0xfd
mighty.bootloader.path=standard
mighty.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_1284P.hex

And i’m using “Programmer” setup from Arbotix source code. They use your usb programmer as “AVR ISP MKII (Serial)” for program their board by “File->Upload Using Programmer” menu.

And the tested code i’m using from your 3pi arduino example. But change port 1 to 9.

/*
 * Blink

 * The basic Arduino example, modified to work for Orangutans.  
 * Turns on an LED for one second, then off for one second, 
 * and so on...  We use pin 1 because Orangutans have an LED
 * on PD1, which corresponds to Arduino pin 1.

 */
 
int ledPin = 9;                 // LED connected to digital pin 1 (PD1) on Orangutans
 
void setup()                    // run once, when the sketch starts
{
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);      // sets the digital pin as output
}
 
void loop()                     // run over and over again
{
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // sets the LED on
  delay(1000);                  // waits for a second
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // sets the LED off
  delay(1000);                  // waits for a second
}

And I got blink red led on Orangutan SVP-1284p board. I don’t know its correct way or not. Please help to verify.

Best Regards,

We do not support programming the Orangutan SVP on the Arduino IDE. I have not previously heard of the “Mighty 1284P” and I do not know if it is correct or not. Also, the libraries we provide for the Orangutan SVP have not been tested in that environment and will probably require many non-trivial modifications to work.
