The circuit of AVR In-System-Programmer (ISP) has been modified to function with USB connection to a PC. The modification of the old AVR ISP includes the replacement of two transistors which will be ...

Here’s a new option for building your own AVR programmer. It’s called the MkII Slim and the diminutive size makes it live up to its name. The design is rather spartan, using just three chips; a ...

The USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers is termed as USBasp which consists of an ATmega48 or ATmega8 along with a couple of passive components. In the design, no special USB controller ...

Not just for nerds, anyone with an interest in electronics, computers, or engineering can build a circuit to blink an LED or read a temperature sensor. The NerdKit will walk you through building the ...

As for the other flags used in the programming commands above: When using the Arduino as an ISP programmer you must specify the speed, using ‘-b’. That value is set in the Arduino sketch and should be ...
