2 x tz85 and programmer cable on there way, 1 pololu programmer also
Did you manage to have a crack at programming your ESCs Adam? If so, how'd it go? I have a feeling we might've talked about it at Wales but my memory's terrible.
And apologies in general for the thread bump, but any chance this can be made a Sticky thread please? The stuff in the first post in particular is pretty useful but I always forget where this thread is when I need to look it up and it gradually works its way down the topic pages.
Not yet all waiting on my desk, hate the idea of spending ages trying to get the avr to work dont like computer's
make sure u r windows 7 or below it does not like the windows 8
also if you are stuck get it to johnno and he will get them to me for you to program (only if you have the tool) as I have one here which does not work with soldering may work with the push on programmer ) do you have one of them ?

The USB wire that comes with the pololu programmer is cr@p so I'd suggest getting a better version. The one I've used is from a digital camera. I've had no issues using the programmer on windows 8 either. Just makes sure you read the pololu website on the info on the drivers etc then install avr studio 4 after
problem the cable has a larger link end so therefore does not fit into the pololu programmer??
provided cable has 6 cores the chip cable has 10
would this work

that's not the cable that's a problem in my experience. The one that comes with the programmer is fine. Is the cable which goes between the computer and the programmer which needs replacing. I THINK its a usb to micro-usb
currently trying and filing to program, waiting forever just to download the amtel studio and the driver for the avr not installed properly, what a faf
Many thanks to Aaron and Steve for creating and sharing the code and tutorials. Thanks also to the guys who created the mods for the DX6.
I've now programmed 2 TZ85's using the Pololu AVR 1300 and everything worked as the instructions.
First time (on TZ85#1) I used the original code
Second time (on TZ85#2) the I used the DX6i code
...but something odd happened an instant after i'd programmed the second TZ85... the Pololu appeared to uninstall itself and was no longer recognised by the computer (think its died!?) anyone else had this problem with a Pololu 1300???
Tried re-installing the drivers and using on another computer etc but now the green LED only flashes a couple a times and goes out when previously it stayed solid and the other LEDs operated too.
