As I am not very firm in all that board stuff...could you please explain a little bit more in detail how this resistor increasing should work. Will it have to be done inside the USB blaster?

Of course I can use the onboard circuitry but the programms I am writing will be used with another board, where there will be a Cyclone III, an MCU and some other stuff. And this board will only have a JTAG connection. So my Prof told me to use the Blaster all the time. In fact I use the onboard connector at the moment, but I will have to handle the problem until the new boards arrive.

Thanks
