USB programer help
« on: June 03, 2010, 12:33:27 AM »
Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum!
SoR is great but now its time to build that robot!

I have built the $50 robot but I don't know which programmer to use.
My computer only has USB compatibility and I have heard rumors that USB to Serial is problematic.
Which programmer do you suggest.
My MCU uses the ATmega168 AVR and I hope to use AVR STUDIO.

One more thing, it needs to be available to AUSTRALIA and have ten pins(to the controller)

Well I'm in Aussie and I ordered the AVR ISP2 programmer at Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AVRISP-Atmel-STK500-AVR-ISP-programmer-USB-/320372505646?cmd=ViewItem&pt=BI_Electrical_Equipment_Tools&hash=item4a97b07c2e

It has a 10 pin connection and has a separate cable to attach to 6 pin connections.
Although it's sold from Hong Kong the shipping was free and it came pretty quickly anyway.

Funny, I also posted about this.

Hope this helps!  :)
