Pololu USB AVR Programmer v2.1

DESCRIPTION

This in-system programmer can be used to program AVR microcontrollers and AVR-based controller boards, such as the A-Star 328PB Micro,  Arduinos and the 3pi robot. The programmer emulates an STK500 on a virtual serial port, making it compatible with standard AVR programming software, and it supports devices running at either 3.3 V or 5 V. The programmer also features a TTL-level serial port, enabling general-purpose serial communication for debugging or programming microcontrollers with a serial bootloader. An ISP cable and a 1×6 double-sided male header are included with this fully-assembled programmer.

FEATURES

• Connects to a computer through USB via a USB A to Micro-B cable (not included)
• Emulates an STK500 programmer through a virtual COM port interface
• Works with standard AVR programming software, including Atmel Studio, AVRDUDE, and the Arduino IDE
• Configuration software available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux
• Supports both 3.3 V and 5 V devices; can automatically switch operating voltage based on detected target VCC
• Can optionally power the target at 3.3 V or 5 V in low-power systems
• USB-to-TTL serial adaptor functionality for general-purpose serial communication
• Provides a 100 kHz clock output, which can be useful for reviving misconfigured AVRs
• All I/O pins are protected with 470 Ω resistors
• 6-pin ISP cable and a 1×6 double-sided male header included
