header pin 1. Unlike the Orangutan, the Baby Orangutan does not come with a shrouded header to enforce correct
cable orientation; the red wire and arrow mark on the cable’s ISP connector should be lined up with the arrow to
pin 1 on the Baby Orangutan PCB. You will only be able to achieve this alignment by connecting to the top side
of the Baby Orangutan PCB, so be very careful not to solder your 6-pin ISP header onto the wrong side of
your Baby Orangutan
!

Note:

The programmer does not deliver power to the device it is programming, so your

Orangutan must be turned on to be programmed. If you are using programmer version
PGM02A, attempting to program an unpowered device will have unpredictable results;
this might randomly change the fuse settings, which can in turn permanently disable your
Orangutan (see Fuses
in

Section 5.b

).

If your programmer version is PGM02B, the

programmer will not let you program an unpowered device (you will see the red status LED
blink once per second if your target device is not powered). You must still take great care to
ensure that your target device does not lose power during programming.
