RZUSBSTICK Working with PS Groove

[tyke]

Well after a long day I got PS Groove running on the RZUSBSTICK.

This was no mean feat as it has no way of being programmed unless you have access to a AVR Jtag programmer which I didnt. I had to modify the stick to allow it to be flashed using ISP. I purchased a USBtinyISP kit v2.0 which comes in kit form and had to be built first.

I stuck with RZ as it has one of the smallest form factors an fits nicely into a USB wifi dongle case I had lying around.

Its got to be the hardest hardware version to get running unless you have the right JTAG kit. So if you do decide to go for it you will need a steady hand and be pretty good at soldering

The stick seems to be instock in quite a few places.

Instructions on how to modify the stick to be flashed with kit:

Can you expand alittle ?? I have the RZBstick .... trying to get AVRdude to program it ... it sees the programmer but not the stick ?? Any ideas ?

For instance what flash did you use ?? Was it AVRdude or AVR studio ?? I have a pile more
