Apple II notes

Encoder notes (2560-based)

Programming the Atmega chips Make sure that the DIV8 flag is OFF (or the chip will run at 1 MHz and you will find the encoder to be very sluggish), and the ISP programming flag is enabled (if you want to be able to program via the ISP header)

The fuse settings I recommend are:

For ATMega328P

Extended: 0xFF High: 0xD9 Low: 0xD2

This corresponds to the following fuse settings

  • Brownout Detection Disabled (Extended byte)
  • SPIEN (in system programming over SPI) Enabled (High byte)
  • Boot flash size 2048 ((high byte)
  • 8 MHz internal RC clock, 4.1 ms startup time (low byte) All other fuses disabled.
For ATMega2560 Extended: 0xFF High: 0x99 Low: 0xE7

This corresponds to the following fuse settings

  • Brownout Detection Disabled (Extended byte)
  • JTAGEN (in system programming over JTAG) Enabled (High byte)
  • SPIEN (in system programming over SPI) Enabled (High byte)
  • Boot flash size 4096 ((high byte)
  • Full Swing Oscillator, xtal, fast rise, 4.1 ms startup (low byte)

All other fuses disabled.
