AVR-XMEGA Handheld Programmer Kit

AVR and XMEGA Handheld Programmer Kit

This starter kit includes a Kanda PC USB dongle that will work with all our handheld programmers.

Handheld Programmer Benefits

This standalone programmer makes it simple to update firmware in both Atmel ATxmega and AVR microcontrollers. 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 using a Kanda USB dongle and simple software. Once it is loaded, you can program as many targets as you want.

• Once loaded, it holds program code indefinitely
• Supports all Fuses and Lock bits, including edit fuses on screen, in hex or in binary
• Program Fuses First feature increases programming speed on new AVRs with 1MHz clock
• Program and Verify Flash or EEPROM or both
• User Area supported
• Can program target from 1.8V - 5.5V, depending on target AVR voltage range. XMEGA 1.8-3.3V
• Can power target microcontroller (up to 150mA) or target can be powered
• All settings (fuses, filenames etc) can be saved to a file for easy distribution of setup
• Error indication with red/green LED
• Dimensions: Imperial - 4.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches
• Dimensions: Metric- 106mm x 58mm x 25mm
• Optional adapter needed for JTAG programming, see Product Accessories
• Includes flying lead adapter for ATxmega PDI and AVR UPDI programming
• Includes USB dongle for loading the programmer
• Load Atmel Studio ELF production files
• Load programmer from command line or batch file
• Limit number of programming cycles
• Optional adapter for ATtiny UPDI 12V reset pulse
• Android Device App to reload programmer remotely

Windows OS

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

Android App

Save programmer contents to a PRG file, send it to an Android device and programmer can simply be reloaded with new contents. This gives you much greater flexibility.

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
