the HV Rescue Shield is not:<\/h4>\n<p>The HV Rescue Shield is not a general purpose AVR microcontroller programmer. \u00a0That is, \u00a0it can&#8217;t be used to perform a chip erase or program flash memory. \u00a0It is intended only for programming the AVR&#8217;s configuration fuses: HFUSE, LFUSE, and EFUSE (where applicable).<\/p>\n<p>The hardware implements all of the control lines to support flash programming, but the code just isn&#8217;t there. \u00a0If anyone would like to volunteer to rewrite the code to support more features, such as general flash programming, please post in the <a href=\"http:\/\/mightyohm.com\/forum\/viewforum.php?f=7\">support forum<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The HV Rescue Shield is 100% open source (hardware and software). \u00a0<a
