Hello guys!!
New user here! I have been reading the forum for a long time and for the last 6 weeks I have been trying to program a nanjg 105 driver!!
I succeeded to flash sixty545 8 mode program and Tido simple one but with on all other programs there is no success for me!!
So I decided to register and get some help!!!
Have a nice day all of you!!
Welcome to BLF! Ok, so where exactly does it go wrong?
<— too lazy to try yet, my programmer hooked up to the ATtiny13C for maybe a week? 0:)
What seems to be the problem georgek?
You have come to the right place, georgek!
Hi guys!! thanks a lot for the warm welcome…
also excuse my english as it is not my mother language…
so… I use avr studio5, burn o mat, usbasp and I also tried avrstudio4, eclipse, winavr, khazama, and extreme burner…
I have read the thread tido made about perfect modes lots of times and also the flashlightwiki about avr drivers…
I followed every step. I use the driver.c from blf-vld to set the modes I want and then compile it into simple…
It compiles ok, it builds ok with no errors and It alsi burns.and veryfies ok…
so everything seems fine but nothing works… also I verify the fuse…
after every unsaccesfull attempt I reupload sixtys545 8 mode program and worka great…
what I want is a program with no memory and 5–12,5–25–50–65–100…
nothing fancy as you can see…
also it would be nice to have battery warning but lets be real, I have no experience about this type of things and I study completely different science… so the simple 6 mode driver with no memory is perfectly fine for me!!
also the only experience I have is what I read from the forum, tidos thread and flashlightwiki and unfortunately I dont have the time for a lot more… 
so be gentle guys…
what am I doing wrong???
ok, let me write down exactly what I am doing, so you can tell me where I am wrong:
1. open driver.c from Tido’s BLF-VLD, select all and copy.
2. open AVRStudio 5, and make a new project
3. Paste over what I copied from driver.c
4. change to my prefered settings as sixty545 posted here
and then press compile on the avrstudio toolbar
I think I may found what I am doing wrong, can anyone please explain to me in details how to compile??
yes I have read the whole thread about perfect modes but I don’t seem to understand the compile thing…
5. then I burn the hex and eep using burn o mat into the chip and verify them. at this point everything seems fine.
6. I now try to test the light but nothing happens, it does not even light up.
is it a kaidomain driver? ( i think you cant flash those)
“Compile” is the phase where a computer program converts your program instructions (or Tido’s) from a form you and I can read (that being “driver.c” in this case) into a form the computer can read. In essence, the MCU is a tiny computer. In a larger program, this phase “compiles” all the different sub-modules into one big happy file.
The likely culprit is punctuation. Your compiler program probably gives you some kind of error message. It may be either on the screen or in some list file in the same folder as your project. That (those??) error message describes the problem perfectly.
Second-likely since the “stock” code works, is a misspelling. These can be hard to spot unless the compiler is pretty specific in its error messages. Again, what error message ( s ) do you get when you click the button?
I think you see the point. What error message, please, cut-&-paste if possible?
Good luck!

Hello again,
No it is not a kd driver…
it is a nanjg105c with attiny13a…
no error msg…
i get this

Guys I am thinking to give up…
I have been fighting with this for weeks now and today I have done it again and again for i don’t know how many times…
It took me so much time.
Guys, I don’t use BLF-VLD or DrJones programs, and I don’t even have AVRStudio installed on my laptop…
But, I know lots of you do. Someone send a copy of a (working) compiled hex/eep to OP so that he can see if the failure is in code/compiling or burn/programming.
If you need an easy way to send him the files, zip them up and drop them at
www.brightlightmodules.com/BLF

Burning is not my problem for sure as I can burn the programs on the chip but the only ones I get to work are the sixty545 8 mode program and Tido’s simple… *I have burned tidos default and fixed also with success so it seems that the luch of programming knowledge is the problem for me…
I just can’t figure out what to do and how to do my program using tido’s files…
Whatever I do seems ok but when I burn it it doesn’t work…
If anyone can make or have ready a working program of 5–15–30–50–100% without memory and share it or a simple driver.c file that can be easily modified it would be great…
As it seems I can only burn already working hex and eep files fine but I do not manage to modify a c file with success…
I feel your pain. I finally installed all the software and need to read through that daunting thread. 600+ posts in that thread and info scattered all throughout. It would be wonderful if someone with experience would write a fresh step-by-step thread on how to do it from beginning to end. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciate the time taken.
georgek, didn’t the new luxdrv source with the changes I PMed you work?
Dr Jones I have been trying from the time I have read the pm you send me to find the lines but with no luck. Two are the possible situations, I am blind or something is wrong with the file I have…
Take a loom please…

Johny,
I have read through the thread more than 5 times but i don’t seem to have any success…
I can admit that I learned how to burn the hex and eep into the chip and verify them…
But they have to be tested and working from someone experienced. The 8mode sixty545 made,the simple, default, and fixed from tido and the luxdrv1 from drJones(but for this I get only one low mode, I dont know why).
DrJone even told me which line to modify but I was not able to even find the lines int the file all day today (I think that there is something wrong with the file I have or I will need to have my eyes checked)
You got the old version of luxdrv, download it again…
How stupid am I??
I have been trying all day to find something tha didn’t exist in the file…
hahaha fortunately I won’t need to have my eyes checked!!
I will download it 2morrow cause I am on a mobile now and build the hex and eep and try it out!! I hope it will work!!
Thanks a lot drJones!!!
You Guys here I blf are the best!!!
Thanks to everyone especially DrJones, The Ninja Guy and Sixty545 for helping me so much!!!
You guys rock!!!
Missed this thread.
A formal welcome to you georgek.
You made a great choice joining BLF. Everyone is very nice and willing to help. We are like one big family.
