256KB AVR Keyfob

USB 256KB Keyfob Mini-programmer for AVR ISP and UPDI

AVR ISP and AVR UPDI Programmer
A completely portable programmer for In System Programming of AVR flash microcontrollers, for field and production use with 256KB of memory. This programmer comes in a key fob case and has one button operation to eliminate operator errors. Removes the need for a PC on the production line or in the field.
Just load using the 256KB AVR Keyfob Mini-programmer USB Starter Kit
Once the programmer is loaded, just keep plugging it into your target boards and program/verify Flash, EEPROM, User Area, Fuses and lock bits with a single button press.

Compare new V3 Version with older 64KB Keyfob V1 version

• 256 KB instead of 64 KB memory
• Supports UPDI interface as well as ISP
• Requires software v8.3.0 up - this also supports V1 keyfob
• Uses same Kanda USB dongle as old keyfobs and handheld
• No battery fitted or needed with V3
• Yellow button rather than red for easy identification
• V3 keyfob can't be loaded using PRG files created from older V1 units
• V3 includes 10DIL6 adapter

Important Note

You will need any Kanda USB Dongle to load this programmer. One USB Starter Kit will allow you to load as many USB Keyfob Mini-programmers as you want.

Purchase Options

You can also buy the USB Starter Kit with 6 Keyfob Mini-programmers.

Handheld Programmer

The keyfob is NOT designed to cope with faulty target boards, so you should test or isolate target boards first, or use the handheld programmer instead.
A more robust Handheld programmer is available, which is ideal for use on the production line. It operates in the same way as the keyfob but has extra features for production use and 256Kb memory. This programmer is ideal for adding Boot Block code to ATmega128 devices.

6-Way adapters

We now have adapters to convert from the standard Kanda 10-way header to different 6-way headers.
6-Way DIL adapter Included with programmer.
6 x 1-way leads

No Battery Requirement

The AVR target must be powered, which also powers keyfob. For programming un-powered target, you need Handheld Programmer.

When loading from PC, Dongle2 (introduced 2013) or Dongle3 will power the keyfob. If you have original Dongle (see label), you will need a battery or to purchase Dongle3 - see Product Accessories below.
