    Hello, yes!

    It turns out the USB blaster I ordered was defective, trying it with a replacement it worked no problem.

-Do you have another USB Blaster that you can try with the same board and PC?

-or Can you try using the current USB Blaster on another PC and another working board?


Regards,
