Title: AVR ISP2 Programmer Australia
Post by: Derme302 on May 23, 2010, 04:38:31 AM: Hey,

After spending three weeks tracking down parts for the $50 robot I have managed to find everything except the AVR ISP2 Programmer in Australia. Is there anyone who knows of a reliable store online or retail and maybe has used that I can get a AVR Programmer form? I am happy to spend up to about $50 for one, but I don't want to pay another $40 for shipping and I don't want to buy the PonyProg.

Any help would be great,
-Derme

http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1300 (http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1300)

with an Australia distributor:

http://www.littlebirdelectronics.com/products/Pololu-USB-AVR-Programmer.html (http://www.littlebirdelectronics.com/products/Pololu-USB-AVR-Programmer.html)

$19 or $21

They emulate an AVR ISP perfectly and WinAVR uses them just fine. They are so cheap I just build them into my robots and buy more.

I got a clone of the AVRISP mkII programmer somewhere from Hong Kong from Ebay, and the shipping was free for some reason. So far, it has been quite promising.

I think it might of been this one?

Just run a search for the part you want.

Good place to get harder to find parts in Oz.

So have you use them with the ATMEGA8? And when you brought it did you buy from Little Bird Electronics?

Yes, yes I have. Allow 2-3 weeks for shipping. I have got the AVRISP2 and a good 800A(peak) SCR from them, here in Australia. Am happy with their service.
