Hi,

I'm having trouble getting os x to recognize my usbasp.

When I plug the board in, system.log shows:

Apr 14 14:34:10 mbpro kernel[0]: USBF: 2072.978 [0x3de9200] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 1 of hub @ location: 0x1d000000)
Apr 14 14:34:16 mbpro kernel[0]: USBF: 2079.251 [0x3de9200] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.

I am using zeners on D+ and D-. (1N5227)

Any suggestions?

Please measure the voltage level on D- when the device is idle. It should be well above 2.5 V and below 3.6 V. Some Zener diodes are not suitable.

what voltage should there be on D+ then?

Less than 1 V when there is no traffic on the USB.

The voltages are within these ranges, but still no joy. My ds1820 adapters don't want to work. (the same error as ts)
On some schemes there's a pull-down(?) resistors on d+ line, on the others there is no resistor. Does it make any difference? What are the usual fuse settings for v-usb (external crystal means cksel=1111, sut=11? what else should I check?

The pull-up or pull-down resistor on D+ is not so relevant, it should prevent stray interrupts when the computer is not connected.

You can verify clock and crystal settings with a test loop, e.g.:

Code: Select all

    for (;;) {
        toggle_port_pin();
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
            _delay_ms(0.5);
        }
    }

This should generate a 1 Hz signal on the port pin. You can check it with an LED.

The error message is very generic: It means that USB does not work at all (except the pull-up resistor). So it can be almost anything...
