Program an AVR with USB Serial Port Download Adapter

[Chab]

Hi all,

I'm new on this forum and hope i will not ask something already answered.
I search and i didn't find a solution.

How to use the USB Serial Port Download Adapter (HCARDU0011) ?
I'm using an ATmega168.

Thanks in advance.

The module uses an FTDI chip to provide the USB to serial interface. You will need to download the drivers from the FTDI website at the following location: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Once installed and with the module plugged into your computer, you will see a COM port (assuming you are using windows) associated with the module.
