USBasp Atmel Programmer

USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers. It simply consists of an ATMega88 or an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed.

Features
●     Works under multiple platforms. Linux, Mac OS X and Windows are tested.
●     No special controllers or smd components are needed.
●     Programming speed is up to 5kBytes/sec.
●     SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1,5MHz).
●     Planned: serial interface to target (e.g. for debugging).

After assembling component you need to upload the USBAsp firmware using a programmer on Atmega8A which can be downloaded from the link below.  If your PC has a COM port tThe option for powering the target from programmer and slow SCK(F_CPU <=1MHZ) can be selected by 2PIN DIP switch.The option for powering the target from programmer and slow SCK(F_CPU <=1MHZ) can be selected by 2PIN DIP switch.hen you can make a very simple serial programmer like PonyProg 2000

The option for powering the target from programmer and slow SCK(F_CPU <=1MHZ) can be selected by 2PIN DIP switch.
The single layer PCB of this programmer can made either using toner transfer method or screen print method. Print the design file with a lesser printer with 100% scale.
