Stop! The modding is not finished yet and it’s not right moment to turn on the device and enjoy its operation… The matter is that ATMEGA8 microchip represents an 8-charge microcontroller possessing 8 kilobyte intrasystem programmed Flash memory. These kilobytes are meant for keeping its executable code, in other words ATMEGA represents a small programmable electronic computer.
Now we must install the programme, which will control the diodes lighting, into the controller. For that purpose we need programmer. LPT programmer is the simplest in construction, that’s why we start with it.
Assemble the programmer according to the given scheme. The scheme is very simple. The main thing here is not to mix up anything and solder all the legs to proper place. We need an old LPT loop or just a slot, a panel for microchip, some radio components and wires. The work will take at most 1-2 hours. This is what I got in the result:
That’s all. The programmer is finished. But it can’t operate by itself, it needs special soft… So, we need programme named CodeVision AVR.
Install it properly as stated in readme file. Start it up and see the caption of the programme for microcontrollers programming:
Now close the programme, turn off your computer and follow the instructions:
1) insert the LPT programmer into the turned off computer (otherwise you’ll damage your computer)
2) plug the board to it
3) connect feeding to the board through molex
4) turn on your computer
5) the programmer shines with green diode indicating supply; there may be red diode shining when turning on; it indicates busy
6) windows is loading
7) start CodeVision
8) Open menu Settings->Programmer, see the following:
If you have another settings, put them in accordance with this picture!!!
9) Push this button in the programme 
10) The window is opened:
Make all settings in accordance with this picture!!!
11) Push this 
, the programme erases the controllers memory
12) Then the following appears
13) Push Yes
14) The programme offers you to choose hex file for FLASH; choose main.hex
15) FLASH memory is being programmed
16) Then the programme will ask you
Whether programme EEPROM or not…
17) Choose Yes
18) Choose file main.eep
19) It is being programmed
20) Several seconds pass… Then it should start working
Click the buttons and rule.
ATTENTION!!!
If after pushing 
the following notice appears:
1) You must check the programmer soldering and power supply on microchip-buffer
2) Check whether you connected the programmer and control circuit properly
3) Check whether power supply +5V is provided on control circuit. The reason may be weak microchip…
If you’ve made everything according to the scheme and used unfaulty components, the controller will work immediately and won’t need any debugging.
That is all! Good luck!
People who want to make such device will need following files: special effects controller circuit, printed circuit board chart, programmer scheme, programme for microcontroller programming, video, programme for programmer, driver direct_hands.sys (download from Internet)
P.S.: You are the only person responsible for the damaged ports, power supply units, microchips, as well as other damaged components)))
Yours faithfully, WATSON 2007.
I wish everybody good modding
