USB AVR Handheld Programmer

Hand Held AVR Programmer for AVR ISP

Battery powered mobile handheld AVR Programmer, for field and production use, for AVR microcontrollers with up to 256KB of code and Data memory. Plug it into your target board and program/verify Flash and/or EEPROM, Fuses and Lockbits with a single button press.

This mobile AVR programmer uses AVR ISP or JTAG and is ideal for non-technical operatives as it stops mistakes - press the only button and the correct code MUST be loaded. Clear pass and fail codes.

Important Note - Please Read

Windows OS

The loader for this mobile AVR programmer works in Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Win7, Win8, Win10 and Win11, 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.

Adapters and Power Supply Requirements

A power supply can be used instead of the internal 9V PP3 battery. The power supply required is 9V, 300mA minimum, 2.1mm Barrel connector, centre positive. These are available on the shop.
9V International Power supply for use with this programmer.

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.
