I use an AVR JTAGICE II to program Atmel chips it is great for programming and debugging, it has both a serial and a USB interface. The only thing is they cost...
Hi Lee, I picked up one of the Atmel USB programmers from Digikey (about $40) and it works great. It won't emulate the SP12 interface but it does plug into the...
I second the JTAG ICE MK2 - thats a really slick programmer - as long as you only use it with debugwire/jtag devices - it doesn't support the old ISP protocol....

Hello All, Is anybody going to be ordering from Digikey soon? If so I'd like to add the "ATAVRISP2" programmer. I was reading the literature on it and it...
Hi Lee, ... Yeah - I have a few things that have been accumulating on my list, and I'd like to get one of those ATAVRISP2's as well. It seems unlikely that...
Hi Dave, If you don't mind doing the ordering I'd appreciate it. I know you have done it before. Let me know if you want payment up front or whatever suits you...
