Designed and Assembled in the United States. This is a six-pin standalone programmer for ISP/ICSP connections on boards like the Arduino and other Atmel devices with a ZIF socket for programming DIP chips. (This is meant to be a kit, but I enjoy building it so much I'll send it assembled unless you send me a message requesting parts and instructions.) If you're searching for "USBASP" I kind of figure you already know why you want one: This makes your Arduino work a little easier. If you've got a batch of DIP chips to program, do it easily here. No more rushing to pushing the reset button if your board doesn't have DTR reset. Just select "USBasp" from the Tools menu, and "Upload using programmer" after you connect the six pins to the ISP header on your Arduino. Things people hate about the Cheap Chinese Imports: 1) They have a "sck" error. That's because they use custom firmware instead of the original Fischl firmware. You can upgrade them, but it's at your own risk. 2) Arbitrary parts. There are users on forums that have compared four "identical" models from the same manufacturer and found a variety of different parts, as if someone said, "well, a resistor is a resistor, just use those instead." 3) Custom designs that make troubleshooting or modification a challenge. 4) The integrated USB port limits where the device can go. 5) Jumpers for SCK, Self-Prog, and Target VCC are non-existent or poorly labelled. This circuit board addresses those problems. It uses the original Fischl schematic (with the addition of a USB fuse), down to how the parts are labelled on the underside of the board. (R2 is a 68 ohm resistor on both this hardware and in the Fischl schematic, R8 is a 10k on both, etc.) It uses the 2011 Fischl firmware, with a slight change to more recent VUSB software. And finally it uses a printer-cable USB jack on the side so you can plug a cable into the back of your computer and still have the programmer sitting on your desk. It does not support 3V3 because, while some imports drop a small voltage regulator to fake it, doing it properly involves using a level shifter and that increases cost for a feature most people won't use, let's face it, if you have an 8MHz Pro Mini you're probably doing a serial upload over the Rx/Tx with an FTDI adapter anyway or you have a TinyISP already with its 64k limitation. Yeah, you could use Arduino as an ISP, but that's a pain, you lose a breadboard and Arduino, and have wires going all over the place. It works well, but it's messy. This is the simple solution, and my favorite part, besides the fact it's designed and manufactured in California, is it's six pin instead of ten pin. Dimensions are 95x40x20mm, plus or minus a millimeter, with the feet installed and without the six-pin cable inserted, compared to the smaller surface mount Golden State USBASP in another listing at 45x25x18mm. If you've moved beyond using Nanos (I sell those! Great for prototypes) and you're soldering ATMegas to your own PCBs, you'll pretty much need one of these. It just works out of the box on my iMac and the great part is it's six-pin instead of ten-pin, eliminating the 10-pin to 6-pin adapter you'll lose anyway. I use it for downloading the program onto my custom ATMega-based PCBs that don't have a USB port, and I like it enough I kinda prefer to use an ISP to download code onto my Arduinos instead of connecting directly to my computer. This device is manufactured in America. It has a fuse on the USB port, so that's good. The included ribbon cable marks pin one with a red stripe and with an arrow on the header to remind us which way to insert the ribbon when you're not connecting to shrouded pin headers. The included ribbon cable varies in length but is ten inches on average. This does not include the required standard USB cable because most people already have an extra leftover from their old printers. As I mentioned, it works out of the box on my OS X 10.10 Mac; on my antique Vista machine I had to do the "find drivers on my disk" thing after it did its search. Here's a guide from someone else for Windows 8.1 and a guide for Windows 8 with both assuming you've already downloaded usbasp-windriver.2011-05-28.zip . Ships in a padded envelope with tracking.
