AVRISP mkII Design Kit

This is an In-circuit Serial Programming tool, based on AVRISP-mkII protocol, using USB to communicate with the host

(Atmel AVR Studio v4.1x).  You might only need to spend 30 minutes to assemble it.

 

 Specs and Features:

[1]. On board controller: ATmega8L from Atmel, running at 12MHz, drives the USB.

[2]. Using AVRISP mkII protocol that runs under Atmel AVR Studio v4.1x environment.  Support most devices from Atmel.

[3]. Have both 10-pin and 6-pin IDC connector footages.

[4]. Can supply 5v or 3.6v for the target board.

[5]. Compact size: only 3.2cm x 8.3cm.

[6]. The circuit is compatible with USBasp, so it can be switch to USBasp by updating the FW on board.

       How to Use the Programmer:

       (1) install AVR Studio v4.1x (download from http://www.atmel.com);

       (2) connect the programmer to USB port, and then start running AVR Studio.

       (3) click "tool" in tool bar, and then go "program AVR" -> "auto connect".  Or you can choose "program AVR" -> "connect", and then "t;AVRISP mkII".

       A pull-down manual will show up if the connection is successful!  Usually, first of all, you need select the AVR device taht you're going to program; and the ISP communication speed if necessary from 'main' tab.  Afterwards, everything else is simple and easy. 

            Order information:

            $7.50/each kit, plus $2.50 S/H fees

            NOTE: on-board controller (ATmega8L) will be programmed when shipped.
