How to use the Dragon Rider 500 with your AVR Dragon

Step 6 High Voltage Programming

I have used the High Voltage Parallel Programming to resurrect an ATtiny2313 that I set the wrong fuse settings on. I needed it a second time when working on this instructable because I accidentally wrote the lfuse setting I wanted to the hfuse register..... ooops. High Voltage parallel programming is a handy tool to have at your disposal!

Below are a lists of my jumper settings:

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS TYPE OF PROGRAMMING CAN DAMAGE YOUR HARDWARE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!

High Voltage Parallel Programming:

ATtiny2313 in socket U3:
SW1 - OFF
SW2 - ON
J5, J6, J7 - connect pin1 and pin2
XTAL1 - connect pin1 and pin2
J16 - Connect pin1 and pin2
2x5 IDC Cables: PROG_CTRL to PORT D, PROG_DATA to PORT B
All other jumpers unconnected (J8-J13, J18, J19, J20, J22-J28, J24)

For other chips you should be able to figure out the settings you need from Atmel's user guide for their STK500.

I just forgot to mention before that I was successfully completed this step (and all steps before this step)of your instructions (I also have few Attiny2313 with wrong fuse settings ).

First of all congratulations on very good instructable (this one and "Assembling the Dragon Rider 500 for use with the AVR Dragon") which
I followed and succesfully completed.I just have small proposition that in this page you can add on the bottom this kind of statement :
Configuring for High Voltage programming for Attiny2313 (and other AVR ) are located on Ecros web .For ATtiny2313 -http://www.ecrostech.com/AtmelAvr/DragonRider/ATtiny2313.htm and for other AVR on menu at left side(that information is not included in Dragon rider user guide.pdf).It is much easier and safer than reading and combine instruction for STK500 for HVPP or HVSP.Also I noticed maybe 2 errors in this page (which needs to check) .In Ecros web J6 is not mentioned for HVPP (and when I look in Dragon Rider user guide.pdf in schematic for ATtiny 2313 it is not logical for me that J6 must be connected at pin 1 and 2 for HVPP).Second maybe error is I think typing error in sentence "All other jumpers unconnected (J8-J13, J18, J19, J20, J22-J28, J24) " .At the end of that sentence I think that must be J34 instead J24 because J24 is mentioned in "J22-J28" part of that sentence.
