  3. Codevision AVR
  4. File ".bat"
  5. USBasp
  6. Minimum System

  3. Save with the extension .bat
  4. Directory storage inside the EXE folder of the Codevision AVR project created as an example.

The explanation of .bat file content:

  1. "usbasp" device used is usb asp.
  2. "m328" type of microcontroller used.
  3. "lfArduAvr.hex" file name with HEX extension on the created project.
