I have been looking at using the USBtinyISP from Adafruit for programming the Atmega328 chip on the
Gertboard. As the USBtinyISP has a level-shifter my thought is to power the target chip from the RPI
through J7 by setting a jumper connecting RPIs 3.3V and the 3.3V on the Gertboard.
The result is that all the LEDs on the Gertboard lights up.
Is this a desired behavior?
Is there a better way to power it?
the USBtinyISP is connected to the board via J23. My goal is to be able to use avr-gcc and avrdude to
program the Atmega328 chip from my laptop directly throught the USBtinyISP.
Thanks in advance.
