AVR and ATxmega Handheld V3 Starter Kit

AVR and XMEGA V3 Handheld Programmer Kit

This starter kit includes a Kanda PC USB dongle that will work with all our handheld standalone programmers plus Keyfob and Portable programmers.

Handheld AVR Programmer Benefits

This standalone programmer makes it simple to update firmware in both Atmel ATxmega and AVR microcontrollers, including AVR UPDI, JTAG and TPI. You plug it into the target and press the button. That's all you need to do.

You load your firmware, fuse settings etc. from the PC or Kanda Android App using a Kanda USB dongle and simple software. Once it is loaded, you can program as many targets as you want.

Windows OS

The USB loader in this kit works in Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10, Win11 32 and 64-bit versions.

Android App

Save programmer contents to a PRG file (which can be encrypted), send it to an Android tablet, smart phone or cell phone and programmer can simply be reloaded with new contents. This gives you much greater flexibility.

See product accessories below for OTG cables that connect your phone to Kanda Dongle.

Available adapters

We now have adapters to convert from the standard Kanda 10-way AVR ISP lead to different 6-way headers and different pitch - 1.27mm or 2.0mm.
Full List of Available Adapters

Here are some popular adapters.

6-Way DIL adapter

6 x 1-way leads - included

6-Way Micromatch connector

1.27mm Adapter

JTAG Interface
See JTAG Adapter for ready made JTAG adapter

See JTAG Pinouts PDF file for details of pin wiring.

UPDI Interface
The programmer comes with a flying lead adapter and 3 wires can be connected for UPDI programming - Blue is UPDI, green is VCC and brown is GND.

For 6-way UPDI (2.54mm/0.1") connection, use 12V UPDI adapter

For 10-way 1.27mm UPDI interface, use AVR ICE Adapter

This has this pinout (same as Atmel ICE AVR connector)



Custom Adapters
If you need any other type of connector, we can supply all sorts of custom adapters - see Custom Connectors

Connections for ATE

AVR V3 handheld programmer can be used as a programming interface for ATE systems, using Labview, C or other programming language. The programmer has an ATE connection point on PCB that can be connected for remote control.

It has switch input to start programming and Status output showing programming, pass and fail. 8-way programmer slot select is also on connector.
