do you noticed this is OBSOLETE product. "This product is no longer available and has been replaced by a newer product." (ID: 381000147) May be new one will be more compatible with Win7? To tell the truth doubt so, because I beleive this is Win7 usb controller problem, because this usb "unknown device" is more common problem then just with this USBASP.
why is it that you need to be a computer programmer to use this "simple" device? its pathetic that there is a known problem here and hobbyking refuses to acknowledge or correct the problem.
Ian, do you noticed this is OBSOLETE product.

KB2528984 - "Functionality issues on USB devices that are connected to a Windows 7-based computer that has an Intel platform" installed ?
(Google for KB2528984 and go tho first result)
I beleive this is Win7 hardware problem.
KB2528984 fixes issues with USB controller
on intel chipsets. Ones who not update Win7
regulary may have the issue. And this issue
may not appear on other chipsets.

Bingo, took me a little while to find m128. But I finally found it under the prefrences tab. Changed it and removed the battery and it worked great. David thanks for your speedy reply.
what is m128 chip that new radios 9XR carry that chip, if you have a chip with m64 put it on the chip, the battery is because it is the method to follow, select USB port, put the chip that corresponds to radio and disconnect the battery to read or write. I hope help.
These specific programmers all suffer with the SCK error. You can fix it if you have another AVR programmer but most people wont have two. See openrcforums . com / forum / viewtopic.php? f=10&t=1363 (remove the spaces)
this is the error report i get, i am using a macbook pro.

Error during writing flash.
i am trying to grade the firm ware on KK2 and hobby king ESC but both give same error. i think it may be a bug in the old firm ware on usbasp.
start the macbook in windows or through a virtual machine and installs the drivers and other and try again. the problem may be mac drivers you have installed or misconfiguration usbasp port.
you can not install win xp on to osx lion, so it will cost me £*60 to put W7 on to my macbook.people having problems on w7. at this rate i'll have to buy an old xp computer to run a £*4 usbasp.
i have done it!! all usbasp working now, sorted by using a macbook pro running 10.6.5. usbasp DO NOT WORK with 10.7 and above. i found info in cyber space about people having trouble with 10.7. so KK2.0 now running v1.4 and 30a blue esu flashed with simonk. ready for test flight but its raining :(
Hi v_max
all your suggestion is based on this result that is "Win7 knows this Product is USBasp"
but MY and Ian case is not.. Win7(32/64bit) couldn't get any information from board(usbASP)..
so I keep suspecting this product..
Win7 just recognize this product "unknown device"
and this is not Win7's problem.. and "Hobby king" must notify this product's driver problem in Win7 cleary!!
Just pluged my one in another computer with WinXP.
And installed drivers manually (downloaded from files tab). No problems 5 minutes for all. And it work.. not Win7 problem? read the forums..
Just google for "usbasp windows 7 unknown device"
May be check this USBASP with other computer?
Ian if you want to sell it or just want help PLEASE come over to the members forum. (Blue tab at top of page). In there you can Sell or start a topic and get help!
first what you are going to want to do is delete the old driver, then Go to the files tab on the item's page, download the usbasp 86x /64x drivers, install them, and do not plug in your programmer until the driver is finished installing. It should work after that
In that case, you would plug in the programmer, go to device manager, right click on the unknown device, and select update driver. When it asks you, wether to look online for a driver automatically or manually choose driver, you want to manually choose driver and direct it to the folder you extracted those files to.
that is what i have tried 100 times and it DOES NOT WORK. did you watch the video i posted?? if you did than you can see that this is exactly what i did.
as long as windows sees it as an unknown device it WILL NOT work.
there is more to this problem than installing a simple driver
The only other thing I could think of is trying to install driver in compatibility mode for windows xp . If that doesn't do it, I'm sorry bud, I tried.
There is only one driver package that works and that package is from Protostack. Search Google for usbasp windows 7 x64 and you will see Protostack is first on the page. I did watch your video. With that package you should get an additional screen after selecting the driver, asking whether or not to use the driver because it's only partially signed by Microsoft. Select Yes. I went through the same Ian, this did work for me.
Moonsun, there is absolutely no problems with WinXP and Linux, but I see that Win7 users experience problems. (You are not alone)
May be better ask Microsoft not to sell Win7 ?
Google for "how to install the device drivers for USBasp programmer for Windows 7 or Vista"
Go to first result. Step by step installation instructions for Win7
those step by step instructions dont change a thing, exact same results. im convinced that this will not work with my computer. gonna sell it on rc groups, although it was only $5 so i may get more satisfaction by smashing it to pieces with a baseball bat
i follow the directions exactly and it always says the "best driver software for your device is already installed" this thing is a piece of **** with extremely ****py support
i continue to try and install the driver for this with no success, i do not recommend this product to anyone.
everytime i open "device and printers" it shows up and an "unknown device" under the "unspecified" heading.
i thought if i downloaded the driver and went ahead with installation that it would correct itself. i tried extracting the files or whatever and then installing them exactly as every instructional video shows. i have now been trying to get this to work for 2 hours with no luck. im about to ditch this kk2.0 and buy a quality fc with actual instructions and tech support. if i cant resolve this shortly then thats exactly what i will be doing.
oh... plz help me.. I don't know how to use inf-wizard. this is What i'm doing.. 1. Run inf-wizard.exe 2. select "vendor ID :0x0000, Product ID:0000, name : Unknown Device" 3. edit "Manufacturer Name and Device Name" just write anything.. 4. select inf?? or create inf?? this step is confusing me... 5. click "install now.. "button! I tried in 2 case.. one is device is in device manager. and the other is that device is not in device manager. but any method can't change Unkown device in device manager.
I manually select drivers that you guys recommended..
but windows doesn't recognize this driver is right... and i checked vid pid.. these values are all 0
I think this good is faulty!!
Install
Go to devices and printer check the USBasp is installed propery or not
If Not
Desable MS Trusted Signature check.
Go to device properties and update the driver manually by browsing the driver folder.
To disable MS trusted signature check Windows 7
1. Press F8 while booting
2. Disable MS Driver Signature check
To disable MS trusted signature check Windows 8
1. Pointer on the lower right corner
2. Settings
3. Change PC Settings
4. General
5. Advance StartUp
6. Restart
7. Troubleshoot
8. Disable windows singnature check and Boot
Moonsun so it does go looking for them. Tell it not to look. Tell your computer you will specify where the drivers are. (Unzip the driver and take note where they go). Then tell your computer to look there for the DRIVERS!
When you install a hardware or plug in a new device Windows 7 / Vista automatically selects the best driver. When you get a file for your device that includes a driver with more features and a software too. If you don’*t know how to update your device or hardware driver, then here is the easy way to do it.
Go to Start and right-click on Computers and select Manage. This will bring the Computer Management window, now on the left sidebar select Device Manager.
simply select the device who’*s driver you want to update. Finally click Update Driver Software. Once you are done. It will open a windows like Update Driver Software. You have two options here, if you want to install a driver that came with your device or hardware, then select Browse my computer for driver software. You browse and you select the file that you downloaded.
once it’*s done simply click Next it will start installing the driver manual.
This is a problem of assign the "best driver" for win7.
I hope it will help you. Best answer maybe its not a solution but sure its a thanks
I was thinking of buying one of these devices to reflash my 9x, but I've read that people have had problems because of a 200 ohm resistor that has been used on some boards. Does anyone know if this has been resolved or if there's a way around this problem? Thanks.
Hey anyone know how long hobbyking has been out of this item and has had it listed as backordered or when they might be getting more in stock and how soon do you think?
Hey guys, does anyone know where one could download winXP drivers for this USBasp adapter. I have tried with somewhat confused results. Also does any one know anything about a reported trojan at the KKmulticopter flashtool site? I have already killed three computers so far this year! And not from going to what would seem at the outset to be risky web addresses.
As for trojan... you can easy get one when you download soft from fileshares, get it from
kkmulticopter site (linked to lazyzero site)..
If you wanna to be sure and do not have antivirus on computer to check then you can get free email account on yahoo mail and email downloaded zip to this email address. Then login and check attachment.. Yahoo scans all emails for vireses and trojans included in attachets even in zip archives.
Thanks v_max, that is very decent of you man, seems this was a dated report. (2 wks old) OK so they have solved the prob. great! Next..., no "purple" file tab files apply to winXP. Thats for sure, I went thru them all. Waiting to hear back from fischl.de >> re: their USBasp win driver zip, of which there is but one. Weather its xp or later versions, I will get to the bottom of it. Will check lazyzero, thanks. Just got to get my computer back from repair, at least I have admin priv on it, not like the borrowed laptop. Such a pain in the ***.
can this be used to program the Minim OSD v1.1 found here:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_vi ewItem.asp?idproduct=36844
instructions for Minim OSD v1.1 "Programming is done through an FTDI-compatible 6-pin cable"
Ivan some time you need to click a few times, some times you need to go back, out of the listing and come back in. So try the Purple File Tab once more. Try a double click if a single does not work!
Ivan, check my post below, and click on the little blue line under my avatar - the link on the message does not work, but the image is there. It is a direct link to the extremeavr burner software, which includes the driver as well.
I have verified all cable connections, reinstalled usbasp drivers and keep getting the message below. Any suggestions?

Sck freq error can be ignored, Target doesn't answer usually means there is a connection error to the MCU. Check your connection from usbasp to the target MCU, What type of connection are you using and what are trying to program?

Error during writing flash.
i have checked all connections,all seems ok
what does -F mean? is this an override?
This is quoted from the Avrdude Manual: "Normally, AVRDUDE tries to verify that the device signature read from the part is reasonable before continuing. Since it can happen from time to time that a device has a broken (erased or overwritten) device signature but is otherwise operating normally, this options is provided to override the check."
hi everyone, i have checked cable and connections all ok, i have used 2 x servo leads and connected direct from usb to mcu, the result is the same. same error message. so cable is not the fault.
1:- faulty usb or 2:- faulty KK2.0. any advise?
Note: Some laptop or note book usb may not be able to supply enough current to run the programming. Use a desktop. When programming, disconnect Rx and Esc from the Kk2. Why use servo leads? The usbasp comes with the 10 10 6 ribbon cable, use those instead and make sure it is connected the right way.
hi eddfoo, i tried servo leads to eliminate to new 10 10 6 being faulty. i did disconnect all leads from the kk2 when i was trying to flash it. i am using a macbook pro i5, the little green led lights up on the usbasp and flashes when it trys to flash.
"use -F to override this check" i understand that this is a command to override this check, i just don't understand "-F" ,i have tried F key, tried -F, fn F,ctrl F,alt F and cmd F and nothing seems to work! thanks for your advise.
could i remove jumper on usbasp to remove supplied voltage from usb port and use power from M1 to power the board?
really wanting to put V1.4 firmware to improve self level as i going to try fpv soon.
regardes :)
I have the same issue. Already verified all cable connections as per diagrams. All seems to be ok. The Multi-Rotor Control Board V3.0 flashes the read led once I run the command. All other simptoms as decribed by above Paul..I have already tried to powerup via ESC removing the jumper from usbasp but its the same..
Basically both of you have a non unansering MCU, Check the 10 Pin(usbasp) and 6 Pin(KK2) ISP headers, I have attached a photo of the Headers connection, make sure you have it right. If all correct, check for bad soldering around the header area, resolder if necessary. Check for connectivity from header to the MCU ( have to lift the LCD for that) with a multimeter. If above fails check if you can programme your ESC with the usbasp. BTW what programme are U using to Flash? IF KKmultiflashtool, check if you have chosen the right Board in the device selection.
target=_blank>ISP Header
hi eddfoo,
i have the www.link programming tool on order, to flash my ESC so will try when it comes. i am using KKmultiflash tool, correct settings for usbasp and KK2.0 board. the board powers up when connected to usbasp,so i know power getting to it. the other MISO,MOSI,RST,SCK i do not understand how to test these inputs.
going to order another usbasp and KK2.0 as something is wrong somewhere! it should be easy to flash a KK2.0 when all set correctly.i need to put V1.5 as i have now got camera on order.
tried flash tool on hobby king 30amp blue ESC and got the same error message as before. my mac is telling me that it is an unknown device which is what the KKflashtool is saying too. i am thinking that the usbasp has no firmware on it. any ideas welcome
maybe you have a bad usbasp, Never have this problem before with the 2 usbasp I have. If you have another usbasp you can reprogramme the FW for the usbasp.
Press on the file tab and click the driver to download. Just seek for the file tab by the video and preview of the product site. Hope this help. Best answer helps also
Ivan so the software is in the Purple File Tab above but once you install the software, make sure you install the drivers as well. If the device is Unknown the software will not work. Also if you have a Mac you do not need drivers. Just run the Flash Tools.

You do not really need it for AIOP.
AIOP perfectly reflashed with build-in USB bootloader via micro USB connector.
But if you want update bootloader then you
will need USBASP and connect it to 6 pads
marked as SPI. Or solder pins header to this 6 SPI pads and used bundled programming cable
If you're asking this question, I assume you have a broken micro USB connector? In theory, all you would need to do is just plug up this programmer to the 6pin ISCP header that's on the board. I say in theory because I have gotten mixed results using this method. I believe the header is primarily there to re-flash the bootloader on the ATMEGA chip and not so much for reflashing firmware. If you haven't already bought this programmer for that purpose, then I'd recommend picking up a USB/FTDI dongle instead as it's really easy to flash that board via FTDI than it is using the ISCP. If someone reading this has in fact been able to re-flash the firmware on that board via ISCP, please chime in. I'd really like to know how to do it as well. :D
Thanks for your comments, IBeHoey. I did it! I reflashed HK AIOP with this programmer and install on it the bootloader and now is working fine. But, I have a question, will be possible connect this programmer to NEO 6M GPS and Bluetooht for configuration? Thanks for your comments and take your credit!
I am only guessing that mixed results for re-flashing the firmware using SPI header were because the compiled sketch size exceeded AVR ISP chip(s) with 64K of flash (or less).
HK do not allow to post direct links, so...
Search google for "openpilot wiki flashing instructions"
Go to First result.
Additional usefull info is under link "Comprehensive writeup of the ESC firmware including flashing & testing information"
at the bottom of first page
Google for "RapidESC Database"
There is a whole list of escapes by manufacturer,
which can be reflashed,
including HK products. So you are welcome to choose one you need (by amps and volts)
Great for flashing Turnigy 9x TX with ER9x (16 models, up to 16 channels, very flexible mixing) or other firmware. For backing up or programming 9x models. Also, for flashing the HK quadcopter board (both, v1 and v2)

I ordered two devices for programming my TGY9x transmitter and the AtMegas of my other atmel projects. Function is OK, 2 flat cables are supplied (6 pin and 10 pins headers, 1 with combined headers, good idea / flexible solution!).
One USBASP came with misplaced USB connector, required resoldering.
Anyway - it can be used for every atmel project and its really worth the money,

All I can say is WOW! I built a quadrocopter with the Hobby King Control Board (not the V2) and it flew pretty good but constantly had to stay on top of it. I bought this USBasp AVR Programming Device, followed the links to the KK site, and downloaded the latest firmware for the board. I didn't really expect much, but again I say WOW! My Quadrocopter now flies as stable as a Co-axial heli. I will be shooting video soon to show the results. If you have this control board, get the above cable and flash it with the latest firmware. You will not be disappointed.
