avrUSB500v2 programmer kit, stk500v2 compatible

Parts with professionally etched printed circuit board for the article "AvrUsb500v2 an open source AVR Programmer, stk500 V2 compatible"

This programmer is OS independent (stk500 V2 protocol) and can flash any Atmel avr microcontroller with In-System Programming capabilities. It can flash microcontrollers from 3V to 5V.

To the programmer software (avrdude, avrstudio, ...) this hardware looks just like a stk500v2 on a virtual com-port.
This kit includes:

A high quality printed circuit board (double sided,through-hole connections, gold plated). The FTDI SMD chip is already soldered to the board.
Bootable CD (like knoppix Linux), tuxgraphics Linux AVR programming CD
Documentation: pinout description of the components, circuit diagram, resistor color codes, drawing and photo of the PCB with all the components
Capacitors: 3x 100nF, 1x 10uF, 2x 18pF
Resistors: 1x 2.2 Ohm, 3x 4K7, 2x 220 Ohm, 4x 100 Ohm, 2x 10K , 1x 220K, 1x 680 Ohm, 1x 100k, 1x 47K
Connectors: 1x 5 pin mini sil socket
1x LED green
Crystal: 18.4320MHz
0.5m USB cable with connector already mounted
0.3m cable for the programmer interface (with 5pin sil connector, gold plated)

Parts, CD

Board top and bottom view

The CD includes the avr-gcc tool chain. The CD is independent of the operating system and software on your PC. It is a bootable CD with a graphical desktop and the complete C-Language programming environment (avr-gcc and avr-libc-1.4.3).
The CD includes (besides the knoppix booting capability):

AVRstudio 4 for windows; to use the AvrUsb500 under windows
Windows drivers for the USB interface of the AvrUsb500v2
avrdude programmer pre-compiled for MacOSX (on PowerPC and Intel)
MacOSX (on PowerPC and Intel) drivers for the USB interface of the AvrUsb500v2

Note that the CD is ready to use without prior installation. The installation of software components is optional.
CD System requirements (tuxgraphics CD version 2.X):

IDE CD-rom.
Pentium CPU (i586) with 400MHz or better, the computer should not be older than 3 years.
USB interface
Minimum 256Mb of Ram.
Note: the CD will not boot on a Mac.

Main features of the avrusb500v2 programmer:

Fast programmer with USB interface
Recongnizes when the connector to the target is inserted with incorrect polarity
Works with almost any system (Windows, Linux, Mac, ...)
Provides a 1MHz emergency clock signal to recover from incorrect fuse settings.
Easy to build. Standard components. The SMD chip is already soldered to the board.

Note: You need also an atmega8 microcontroller to build the AvrUsb500v2 (the atmega8 is not included in this kit). The CD that comes with this kit is prepared to load the initial firmware into the atmega8 on the AvrUsb500v2 board [please don't use any other chip than atmega8 to build the AvrUsb500v2].

Optionally you can also add the below insulation foil.

Cable ties and insulation foil for avrusb500v2

This is a useful addon if you do not want to build a box around the avrusb500v2 board. The kit consists of:

5 cable ties
A strong plastic insulation foil with printed on pinout description.

The cable ties function as a pull relief for cables and tie the plastic insulation foil to the bottom of the board.

price: 0.90 Euro [convert_currency]
