Pololu 1300 USB AVR Programmer, 6-Pin ISP Programming Cable, USB-A to Mini-B Cable

This is a programmer for avr-based controllers, such as the orangutan robot controller and the. 3Pi robot. The programmer emulates an avrisp V2 on a virtual serial port, making it compatible with standard AVR programming software. Two additional features help with building and debugging projects: a ttl-level serial port for general-purpose communication and a slo-scope for monitoring signals and voltage levels. The Pololu USB AVR programmer is an extremely compact, low-cost in-system programmer (isp) for Atmel's AVR controller, which makes this device an attractive programming solution for avr-based controllers. The USB AVR programmer connects to your computer's USB port via an included USB a to mini-b cable and communicates with your programming software, such as AVR studio or avrdude, through a virtual com port using the Avrispv2/STK500 protocol.
