im having trouble writing to 1 of my atmega cards..
i keep getting the following using phonix
writing default fuses failed
lofuses verify failed
ive erased card & virginised it several times in both phonix & jeepers..
alos changed fuses in jeepers tp FF AE 89 FF
phonix then still writes eprom & run fuses..
when i put card in reciever it says card not inserted corectly err# 19
any ideas?

[retiredguy]

go to settings in phoenix and uncheck verify writes

[hunter201]

there is no spot to check or uncheck ..
only has programmer & speeds & no card mode
it will not flash card

[retiredguy]

I was wrong it is the last page in the wizard it has finish as the heading.

Have you tried erasing your card 2-3 times 'BEFORE' you program it?

Looks like he did from his post

Try using jeepers to erase and alt erase several times, then write the
factory restore eeprom and flash files.. Again erase in jeepers at least
10 times.. Now try to program the card with Pal (uncheck verify write)
This has worked with stubborn atmega's for me.. If this also fails..
you may need to get a shorter db25 cable or better still if you have room
plug the atmega programmer directly on the back port of you computer
and try again.

good luck

[retiredguy]

do you make sure the clock speed is 4.50 instead 3.68

[hunter201]

yes its 4.5

[Wiley-X]

Believe it or not, sometimes 4.5 is different than 4.50

PAL needs to be set at 4.50

[hunter201]

not if its an 1800...
then its 4.6080

you can program you atmega right but no go in the reciever, is your atmega is the jumperless one?
got one that program ok but in my receiver no card detect, then i clean iso contact on the atmega card but nothing, i've just putt a litle bit of solder on the pads and voila! the problem was comming from my receiver card slot not making contact with atmega card.(adding tickness to the card pads solve the problem)Maybe your receiver card slot getting loose, time to change it !!

[hunter201]

lol... ive just done the solder bit b4 i read this ...& i still get # 19...gonna try card in different reciever
oh when solderin ..dont use much heat ..as u can burn off the pads...1 of mine moved a bit...
alos mine dint work in either recievers...

[ellsmako]

Speed should be 18 or 18.4 etc

I had fuse errors and card not insterted until beer #2 at which point brain cell re activated and changed from 16 mhz to what it was suppose to be 18.4 mhz
Cheers for beer # 3

any ideas?hunter if you have a 128 atmega check lock fuses have read FF A1 89 FF , you can used a jeeper to correct the lock fuse after that you can use phoenix , just erase 3 to 5 times and reprogram..:D
