Hi guys,
I'm new to AVRs, so please excuse me if I ask some stupid questions.
I wanted to make an absolutely minimal tester (USB powered, no LCD, UART output thru a USB-to-serial adapter, no crystal and Atmega8 based.
I chose ver 1.06k and compiled it for 8MHz, internal, uploaded it with an USBasp and all seemed well.
BUT, I find that the unit auto-repeats for a few cycles (during which it reads components very reliably), and then simply hangs.
I tried it on another Atmega8, very similar results; works for a few cycles, and then hangs. At this point, the only option is to interrupt the power, and then it works for a few cycles of testing again.
Could anybody point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance.
