I’m happy to report that the AVR HV Rescue Shield has been tested and works with the new Arduino Uno.

This isn’t too much of a surprise, but it’s always good to check that seemingly innocent changes to a hardware platform don’t cause unexpected problems in existing applications.  (That is the voice of experience talking, can you tell?)

Version 1.2 of the Arduino sketch that powers the AVR HV Rescue Shield is now available for download.

The revised sketch now displays the target AVR’s existing fuse settings before asking you for new ones.

I also cleaned up and reworked the code in a couple places, but these changes shouldn’t affect the existing functionality.

If you have any issues or questions about the new code, post them in the support forum or contact me directly.

Now through July 9th, order an AVR HV Rescue Shield kit and get 20% off!

AVR HV Rescue Shield Kit – $19.95

This week there have been a couple minor updates to the AVR HV Rescue Shield:

• I just uploaded version 1.1 of the Arduino sketch, which fixes an issue with garbage being printed in the serial monitor between burn cycles.  I also made some minor changes to try to reduce the likelihood of getting serial gibberish upon opening the monitor window, although I’m not 100% sure what is causing this.  The sketch was compiled and tested with Arduino 0017.
• I have verified that the shield works with the Atmel ATmega328P AVR microcontroller.

Good news!  The AVR HV Rescue Shield kits are back in stock, with new, lower pricing!

The full kit, which has been reduced to $19, includes a professionally made PCB with preassembled DC-DC converter and all the parts you need to build the AVR HV Rescue Shield.

The PCB-only option is still available, which includes one unassembled PCB (DC-DC converter is not included).  Pricing on the PCBs has been reduced to $6.
