USB Programmer - AVRISP-U

Kanda's low cost USB ISP version is the direct replacement for the parallel port one. This programmer includes an AVRStudio plugin so it can be run from within AVRStudio as well as using its own Interface. It is compatable with all STK200 and STK300 boards.

Our USB programmer includes all the functions of the older LPT port programmer but it also includes

AVR microcontroller identification
Automatic ISP speed setting for fastest programming speed
Lots of protection from faulty circuits
Can power target board

UPDI Programmer - AVRUPDI

Kanda's low cost USB UPDI version supports all AVR programming interfaces, including AVR ISP, JTAG, TPI and UPDI interfaces,
Our USB programmer includes all the functions you would expect but it also includes

AVR microcontroller identification
Fastest programming speed
Lots of protection from faulty circuits
Can power target board

What is AVR ISP?

It is an In System Programmer (ISP) used to program your microcontroller in system, which means in your target circuit. This has many advantages, especially for firmware updates but you need to design your ISP circuit correctly.

All programmers have either a 6-way or 10-way header that must be included in your circuit for easy connection. You must also avoid having too much capacitance on programming lines or reset ICs and other circuits wired incorrectly. Please see our Guide to ISP Circuits for more information.
