Visual Cue	Narration
Slide 1: Welcome Slide	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Programming OpenPLC.
Slide 2: Learning Objectives How to program the OpenPLC Mainboard	In this tutorial, we will learn how to program the OpenPLC Mainboard
Slide 3: System Requirements Ubuntu Linux 18.04 operating system OpenPLC Mainboard 24V, 2A SMPS USBasp programmer	To record this tutorial I am using: Ubuntu Linux 18.04 operating system OpenPLC Mainboard 24V, 2A SMPS USBasp programmer
Slide 4: Pre-requisites How to generate a hex file of a ladder diagram in LDmicro. If not, please refer to the relevant tutorials from Home | spoken-tutorial.org	To follow this tutorial, you should know How to generate hex file of a ladder diagram in LDmicro. If not, please refer to the relevant tutorials in this series on this website.
	Now, we’ll see how to upload a program to OpenPLC Mainboard.
Slide 5: Code file - sample.hex The files used in this tutorial are available in the Code Files link on this tutorial page Please download and extract them Make a copy and then use them while practising	We will use the sample.hex file which was created earlier. The files used in this tutorial are available in the Code Files link on this tutorial page. Please download and extract them Make a copy and then use them while practising
Slide6: USBasp-programmer.jpg	We are using a USBasp, to program our Mainboard.
Slide 7: Mainboard-computer-connection.jpg	Make the connections as shown in the picture. Connect SMPS and USBasp to the Mainboard as shown here. Recall that we have explained these connections in the earlier tutorials. Turn ON the power supply. Make sure that one of the LEDs on USBasp is glowing. This indicates that the programmer is connected properly.
Press CTRL+ALT+T keys	Open the terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T keys simultaneously. If you’re a Windows user open command prompt.
Type cd Desktop/LDmicro Press ENTER	Type cd Desktop/LDmicro and press Enter. I have saved a file sample.hex in the above folder. Go to the location where you’ve saved the hex file.
Type, avrdude -c usbasp -p m16 -U flash:w:sample.hex	Now type the command as shown. For uploading the program we are using a command line tool, AVRDUDE
Highlight according to narration	hyphen c indicates the programmer id of the programmer. Since we are using an USBasp programmer, here the id is given as usbasp.
Highlight according to narration	hyphen p indicates the part number of the microcontroller that we are using. In our case it is ATMEGA16. So we have specified it as m16.
Highlight according to narration	hyphen capital U handles all memory read and write operations.
Type flash	flash indicates the flash memory and w indicates the write operations.
Highlight according to narration	sample.hex is the file that we want to upload.
Press ENTER	Press ENTER.
Highlight red light	We can see another LED on the USBasp is blinking. This indicates that it is communicating with the Mainboard appropriately.
Highlight avrdude: 364 bytes of flash verified	In the terminal, we get avrdude: 364 bytes of flash verified
Highlight the output	Note that the number of bytes varies from program to program.
	If you don’t get either of the indications, it means that programming isn’t done properly.
Slide 8: Additional Reading Material	Refer to the Additional reading material of this tutorial to know more about: Precautions that should be taken before programming. Ways to troubleshoot when the Mainboard is not programmed properly.
	Let us see various part numbers for different controllers & programmers.
Slide 9: Controller’s part number list List of part number for Controllers and Programmers is given in the below link: https://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/user-manual/avrdude_4.html#Option-Descriptions Highlight with box	Go to the given link.
Highlight m16 Highlight usbasp	In this tutorial, we have used ATmega16. We can observe that the part id is m16 according to the list. The part id of USBasp programmer as ‘usbasp’. You can refer to this manual, if you are using a different microcontroller or programmer. It also contains the information of the command line options to control AVRDUDE’s behavior.
	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
