This is the first time I have every tried to program an AVR. Right now I am trying to flash the cam with the embedded code. I'm in the dir with the code and I type the following:
C:\pfm\AVRCam>avrdude -p atmega8 -P com9 -c stk200 -U flash:w:AVRcam.hex
Then I get this:"
avrdude: can't open device "giveio"
avrdude: failed to open parallel port "com9" "
I know I have the right port. Beyond that I'm clueless. Help would be much appreciated. Feel free to be as basic as possible.
