If you plan to use this dev board with the 3.3V supply, be sure to remove the Brown-Out Detector IC (it’s the transistor-looking IC between the red LED and the two buttons (reset button and big round button).
If you don’t do this and use the board with 3.3V, your microcontroller will be held in reset and nothing will work.
I just wasted several days banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Removing the brown-out detector IC fixed everything.
I hope this helps you out.

hi guys, can anyone confirm if this will work with AVRStudio? and what cable would u guys recommend for pc connection
Hey matt, i thought the atmega32 needs 5v ? i didnt know we could use 3.3v? I’ll be using this in conjunction with a bluetooth module. and all this time I thought I would need to step down the voltage?
The atmega32 needs 4.5-5.5v to run. Although the atmega32L is the same chip but it can run 2.7-5.5 but speed is limited to only 8MHz.
If you don’t the extra speed the atmega32L is good but for speed, a logic level converter would need to implemented with the atmega32.
You don’t need to remove the ZM33064 Brown-Out Detector for 3.3V operation, if it’s easier, you can remove the 0-ohm SMD resistor connected to it. See the schematic. I’m using it with AVR Studio 4.x and a 10-pin cable to real STK500, though the STK500 USB dongle works too.
