Low-cost AVR programmer

Low-cost AVR programmer

To program certain AVR microcontroller units (MCUs), you will need an AVR programmer. A better approach is to purchase a development kit, such as the STK-500. The advantage of this kit is that it provides a serial port, LCD connector, SRAM socket, 8 switches, 8 LEDs, connectors for all MCU ports, etc., on a single board. I recommend beginners start with the STK 500 or other development systems; they will be very helpful. For those who only want to program an AVR chip, create some circuits like those on this website, and don't want to spend money on any development kits, this ultra-low-cost AVR programmer is the solution.
