Hello everyone,
I need helps with connecting the microcontroller to my laptop.
I've just ordered an ATMEL AVR Mega128 ATMEGA128 development board and it is on the way to my home. I wanted to connect the development board to my laptop through the usb cable. At the moment i've got a USB to RS232 Serial 9Pin MALE Cable Adapter which i think i can plug in the usb cable to the laptop side and the RS232 male plug into the development board which has the RS232 serial port as well.
The development board i've ordered is this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260692595717&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
And the USB to RS232 adapter i've got is this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/USB-RS232-Se..._Accessories_Wires_Cables&hash=item4aa8856f6e.
So my questions is:
Will this USB to RS232 adapter be able for me to connect, program and debuging to the development board?
Or should i order a USB to JTAG adapter Programmer Debugger?
like this one from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160480909339&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Thanks in advance!
