Hi LZ Can you add to your tool to also clear the EEPROM? As the old configuration or data still in there and Mike's firmware will read from there. Our bootloader flash do the EEPROM clear as well.

Bugfix version. Version 0.31 prevented flashing the kk-board, because of malformed avrdude commands.

• advanced settings for some progger settings. Baud rate for STK500, STK500v2 to use arduinoISP correctly?
• Spanish translation added. Thanks to Ernesto.

  Only use if output is:

avrdude.exe: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions

Reading | ################################################## | 100% 0.00s

avrdude.exe: Device signature = 0x1e940b
avrdude.exe: Expected signature for ATMEGA168 is 1E 94 06
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.

avrdude.exe done. Thank you.
