All AVR programmers for you, ISP, UPDI and more

Kanda standalone AVR programmers are perfect for production and field updates as they are really easy to use. Just load on the PC, then they are completely portable, with battery or power supply. Keyfob units are the smallest and simplest, AVR Handheld programmers come as single or 8 image versions with larger memory and Portable Programmers can store up to 31 different images.

If you are looking for a development programmer or something for low volume production, then AVRISP-U, AVRISP-MKII, AVR UPDI, or AVR ICE will suit your needs perfectly. They either run from Atmel/Microchip Studio or have their own PC software.

Portable and Standalone Programmer Guide

Our popular keyfob and handheld AVR programmers are perfect for non-technical users. Once loaded from the PC, they can be taken anywhere for use in difficult environments such as kitchens or laundries. The AVR target is programmed with a single button press, including data, fuses and lockbits. A green LED means pass and a flashing red LED means try again, what could be easier?

The keyfob version is tiny, just like a car key, low cost and very simple. The handheld version is larger, more robust with more protection against faulty circuits making it ideal for production use as well as field updates.

These standalone programmers support all AVR microcontrollers including older AT90S, AVR UPDI, AVR ISP, AVR JTAG, AVR TPI interfaces as well as ATxmega PDI and JTAG programming.

Boards and Training Kits

As well as selling these AVR ISP kits on their own, we also supply a range of development and training kits with different AVR boards for 8 to 40-pin Atmel AVR microcontrollers (STK200), 64-pin ATmega devices (STK300) and 100-pin Xmega microcontrollers (Xmega Board).

These starter kits come with everything needed to learn about programming, including books, sample code and software. The boards are available with ISP, Dragon and JTAG ICE.

The AVR programmer included can be anATtiny programmer, an ATmega328P programmer or any other AVR programmer.

Special Offer

Our AVRISP-U has not only been reduced in price but now includes lots of new features to make a complete Atmel AVR USB programmer including

• Can power target circuit
• Super drive capability to deal with capacitors, UART chips etc.
• Standalone PC operation or run from Studio 4, 5,6 or 7
• Easy USB install on all Windows OS, including 64-bit and Windows 10

AVRISP also includes buffer editors, serial numbering, automatic target detection and AVR ISP speed setting and RC calibration bytes. Plus extra production features such as program start on insertion, protection against faulty target circuits and pop-up warnings so errors can't be ignored.
