I was excited to see the instructions to invoke AVRDUDE from within the GC Basic IDE, but when I downloaded the latest "hot" version of GCB@Syn I didn't even see the run command in the menu bar, let alone a line to edit AVR "programming".
Can someone point me to the correct version to work with these instructions?
Thanks so much for the consideration of your kind reply. I did find the menu item under tools rather than run, under the current "hot version". Here's the URL I used.
I was excited to hear that you were using Great Cow Basic, for programming the Arduino is that correct? I was wondering how it is, that it doesn't over write the bootloader?
Best,

Have a look at the release of today. See the notices in the forum/website.
In today's release we have included the scripts to program AVRs. You will have to edit the Port and Baud rate.
I have this working for me. I have adapted the standard script to program to specific ports dependent on the chip type. I have 368p on Com12 and a 168 on Com6. I program via a low cost TTL converter and it works really well. Essentially, we load via the Serial Port of the AVR leaving the bootloader in place.

Many/?all USB to Serial modules found on Ebay work.
There is a new nano board including the USB to Serial chip on (<3€) SearchEbay(NEW Nano V3.0 ATmega328), ceramic resonatror, I found none with a quartz, it uses a public domain chip + driver CH340, it loads hex much faster (there have been issues with ??FT232 and patents).
The bootloader, is a code writing the code received on serial port in the chip(auto write capability), that code of course prevents self overwrite.

Thanks,

We can help.
What was your url for the hot version. I will load and test for you. Then, I can respond.
This does work... I use it everyday.
:-)

E.,
I've got it! The new release looks fantastic. Much to learn, new demos are great.
