Everyone has a different requirement for programming the Atmel AVR Microcontroller through AVR ISP from the basic 'how do I get started', through updating AVR microcontrollers in the field using AVR ISP, to production of circuit boards. The best solution for you depends on how you answer these simple questions:

• Have you got experience with AVR programming and the Atmel AVR microcontroller?
  If not, we suggest a combined AVR ISP Programmer and development kit - see AVR Trainer including AVR JTAG ICE
  
  
• Do you want a simple USB AVR ISP for your PC, for In System Programming (AVRISP) of AVR Microcontrollers?
  The AVRISP-U Programmer supports all new AVR microcontrollers, including ATtiny, ATmega, AT90USB and AT90CAN using AVR ISP, see Low Cost AVR ISP
  
  
• Do you want AVR ISP and JTAG programing on one PC, need a DLL or commandline or want to program old AT90S microcontrollers?
  The AVRUSB Programmer supports all Atmel AVR microcontrollers, including AT90S, has command line and DLL versions and has JTAG programming as well as ISP, see USB AVR ISP with JTAG
  
  
• Do you want to program the AVR microcontroller without a PC?
  For an AVR ISP that doesn't use a PC, either for production or field updates, you need our Keyfob or handheld AVR ISP.
  
  
• Do you need a Keyfob AVR ISP or a Handheld AVR ISP?
  The Keyfob AVR ISP is a lower cost, smaller portable AVR ISP but has less faulty circuit protection, less memory (64KB not 256KB) and cannot power target, so choose Hand held AVR ISP for production AVR programming, and either keyfob or handheld AVR ISP for field programming depending on memory needed and target power requirements.
  
  
  • Keyfob AVR ISP
    
  • Handheld AVR ISP
  
  
  
• Do you want an AVR Emulator as well as an AVR ISP?
  See Simple AVR Emulator with limited device support, JTAG only
  or Advanced AVR JTAG ICE with full device support - JTAG and DebugWire

• Do you know who produced the first commercial AVR ISP?
  The answer is Kanda, way back when the only AVR microcontroller was the AT90S1200.
   
• Who defined the standard 10-way interface for AVR ISP?
  Again it was Kanda who defined this standard. PIC users STILL do not have a standard interface, so they must keep using individual leads.
   
• Why do most programmers use a similar GUI?
  Because they have all copied the Kanda User Interface. Buffer with Hex and ASCII, colour for Verify errors, Fuse layouts etc. These were all Kanda developments for AVR programming.
   
• Who invented the low cost starter kit for microcontrollers?
  Kanda developed the STK200 AVR development kit, the first low cost evaluation kit for microcontrollers - and produced 40,000 of them - and they are still selling.
   
• The first USB AVR ISP for AVR microcontrollers was developed by...?
  You guessed it, Kanda again.
   
• Has anyone other than Kanda been able to produce an AVR ISP in a keyfob case?
  No, because Kanda are the AVR programmer experts.
   

So, when we say that we are the most experienced AVR ISP suppliers in the world, we mean what we say!
We can also tell you that we design and manufacturer our whole AVR ISP range in-house, unlike other programmer companies. No subcontract designers or out-sourced production to give problems with updates or quality. It also means our technical support staff are involved in the development of the product from the beginning as they know the type of problems YOU encounter.

And another thing. We don't add our AVR support as an after thought to our PIC programmer!

Have we said enough to convince you?

• What about our free upgrade policy?
• Our world wide delivery?
• Our rapid technical support?
• Our easy to use software?
• Our fast and reliable AVR programming?
