[sdiy] AVR programmer

[Carsten Tönsmann]

Hola,

I made very good experiences in using the chip-included ATMEL ISP-Interface. 
Just 5 external resistors and a freeware software to program the 
µController. Additionnaly you can include this in your target board like I 
included it in my modules. So if you want to do experiements or software 
updates or bug fixes just plug in your Laptop / PC via printer port or midi 
socket and do it. You don't have to open your device or remove your module 
from the cabinet to remove / change the Atmel chip to change software. And 
you don't have to buy any programmer at all.

Examples:

Hasta luego

Carsten
