8-way USB AVR Handheld Kit

USB Starter kit for 8-way AVR Handheld Programmer

Introduction

8-way AVR Handheld Programmer with 2MB of memory plus USB PC interface and software. Load the programmer from a PC using the USB PC interface and the Software and then you do not need PC again. The Hand Held Programmer is a completely portable AVR ISP and you just select the slot needed with the rotary swich, plug it into your target board and program/verify Flash and/or EEPROM and Fuses on your target microcontroller with a single button press. Supports up to 256KBytes of code and data EEPROM for each of the 8 slots.
The PC interface is USB port.

Accessories and Adapters

Extra USB Hand Held AVR Programmers You only need one starter kit for as many programmers as you require

If you do not want to use the internal 9V PP3 battery, the power supply required is 9V with a 2.1mm Barrel connector, center positive, 300 mA minimum. 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.
