Title: avr programmer diy
Post by: SmAsH on March 17, 2009, 02:16:00 AM

i am reffering to the cheaper version. would this tutorial suffice?  http://www.instructables.com/id/Ghetto-Programming:-Getting-started-with-AVR-micro/?ALLSTEPS (http://www.instructables.com/id/Ghetto-Programming:-Getting-started-with-AVR-micro/?ALLSTEPS) no where in australia sells any good robotic parts including programmers. from sparkfun this came to about $34.00ish shipped :( and these parts came to about $10. do you guys reckon this would work?
