[Hans Peter] wanted to move away from using full Arduino boards in his projects. One of the components he rarely used after the development stage is the USB hardware. Once the firmware is flashed to ...

The circuit of AVR In-System-Programmer (ISP) has been modified to function with USB connection to a PC. The modification of the old AVR ISP includes the replacement of two transistors which will be ...

Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and friends with only six pins ...

Ernest Bron of National Semiconductor describes how Flash-based microcontrollers can be programmed in-circuit without being restricted by the speed of the PC used for control. The current canonical ...
