Some software will not allow connection to higher COM port numbers. In particular, AVR Studio and early versions
of Atmel Studio cannot connect to ports higher than COM9. If you need to change the COM port number assigned
to your programmer, you can do so using the Device Manager. Double-click the COM port to open the properties
dialog, and click the “Advanced…” button in the “Port Settings” tab. From this dialog you can change the COM port
assigned to the programmer.
Once your have successfully installed the device drivers and software, you can run the Pololu USB AVR Programmer
Configuration Utility, which is available in the Start menu in the Pololu folder. This application allows you to change
many of the settings of your programmer and can help troubleshoot problems. Please see
for more
information.
This software package also contains the installation files for the Pololu SLO-scope application for Windows. Please
see
for installation and usage instructions.
