USB AVR Programmer for Arduino Boards with Bootloader Support

This USB AVR programmer is your go-to solution for revitalizing Arduino boards that have unfortunately lost their bootloader. With its official support from the Arduino IDE, it offers an uncomplicated method to breathe life back into what might otherwise be considered defunct hardware. If you've ever felt the frustration of a seemingly bricked board, you'll appreciate the capability to reburn the bootloader effortlessly, allowing your Arduino to function as if nothing ever went wrong.

Designed to excel with ATmega168 and ATmega328, this versatile programmer is compatible with a wide range of AVR microcontrollers supported by the powerful AVRDUDE software. Its adaptability is further enhanced by the inclusion of both 10-pin and 6-pin target headers. These features ensure seamless integration with most AVR boards, effectively meeting the needs of varied programming tasks. Whether you’re a tinkerer crafting the next big innovation or handling critical repairs, the programmer's capability translates into reliable performance.

Drawing on the robust USBtiny code and design of Version 2.0, this programmer has been engineered for stability and efficiency. The thoughtful inclusion of both 6-pin and 10-pin AVR-standard connectors and cables underscores its readiness for immediate deployment. The product has evolved over time, as noted by updates like the V3 hardware revision, which offers an improved board layout. This change significantly boosts usability while ensuring compatibility with older versions, making it a dependable tool in any developer's toolkit.
