avrdude not working[SOLVED]

Hello,
i made a usbasp avr programmer and it worked with avrdude without root.
Today i want to use it, but i got error:

avrdude: Warning: cannot query manufacturer for device: error sending control message: Operation not permitted
avrdude: error: could not find USB device "USBasp" with vid=0x16c0 pid=0x5dc

With root it works. Tried in this page: http://blog.vmario.org/2008/10/22/progr … -linuksie/ but nothing happens...

Re: avrdude not working[SOLVED]

seems to be a permissions issue.
First do a lsusb as root. Then you should be able to chmod the permissions on the corresponding /proc/bus/usb/<bus#>/<dev#> file to 777.

I believe that this ought to fix your problem.

Re: avrdude not working[SOLVED]

Okay, I found another fix that's worth trying using UDev rules.  create a new whatever.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d and add this line:

SYSFS{idVendor}=="16c0",  SYSFS{idProduct}=="05dc", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"

Then restart udev and it should work.

(it's stuff like this that reminds me why I use RS-232 serial ports for everything!  much easier to work with.)

Re: avrdude not working[SOLVED]

old topic, but I have the same problem and adding line

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/USBasp.rules 
SYSFS{idVendor}=="16c0",  SYSFS{idProduct}=="05dc", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"

doesn't work ...

Bus 004 Device 003: ID 16c0:05dc VOTI shared ID for use with libusb

$ ll /dev/bus/usb/004/
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 384 02-17 13:36 001
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 386 02-17 22:21 003

--- edit:
Solved by:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="16c0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05dc", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"

Registered just to post this: (captcha!!! : what the output of  date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g' :-) )

Kinda obvious, but you need to desconnect/reconnect the usb board after udev restart.
ubuntu 12.10: service udev restart

Thanks you all for helping solve the problem.
