Hi
I've just begun to get some attiny85 to make simple modules, no real code background.
I'm trying to dump the code from Jan Ostman MicroBeat project, and the ISP returns errors that I don't understand.
Could someone give me a clue of what I should tweak to simply validate the code?

original code:

Looks like a character set issue the \xyz numbers being unrecognized characters due to a character set conversion error or something ... did you copy paste from the website or was there a file you downloaded?

And when copy pasted . .what did you paste it into to make the ino file?

Hi
I've done the copy/paste directly from the website (no automatic translations on my browser) to the arduino editor software.
I don't see any difference between the code on the website and what I get when I paste in a new ino editor window.
However the code for the CZ1 VCO is fine, no problem to dump and works well with the standard bootloader.

okay .. tried to do the same .. copy from website paste into text wrangler and then save as an ino file .. there is some unicode stuff in the file all the '-' (minus) characters are non ASCII, the C compiler will not understand that.

Tried to fix it .. maybe the attached file will work for you?

ostman.ino

Thank you Sir respect

your corrections are right, there are no more errors in the code now.
I'll use a similar code/text editor for copy/pasting next time... never had this kind of problem before.

The programmer caused somme issues too (out of sync mostly), I've found the board libraries for the attiny series by DrAzzy are working better with my setup (using a Nano as ISP on linux):

Cheers and thanks again for your help.

Great, glad I could help Very Happy

It is a problem with the web page though, so there should be no need for different tools ... but ... you might want to send off a note to Jan Ostman pointing him to this thread - I'm sure he would understand the issue then (being that his web tool made UTF-8 of the code .. where it should have stayed ASCII).
