Problem with ATMega 8 and the programming software.

Question

My programming software isn't working anymore. I think the problem is with ATMega 8. It's burning. Do you have a solution for this problem?

Answer 1

If your programmable device (ATMega 8) is very hot, you might want to check the connections that you made. It's possible that you made a mistake and inverted the VCC pin with other one. In this matter, download the data-sheet from the manufacturer in order to make sure that your pin usage is accurate. The behavior that you encountered can't be caused by a malfunction of the programming software.
