A comprehensive guide to the Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI), including architecture, signalling, security, memory programming, debugging, recovery techniques and programmers.
Kanda have been producing different standalone programmers for PIC microcontrollers for over 25 years and they are popular all over the world. All Kanda programmers are robust and the main feature is ease of use.
Continue reading “PIC Standalone Programmer” »A standalone AVR microcontroller programmer is a device that can program microcontrollers without needing to be connected to a computer during the programming process. These devices are useful for production environments, field updates, or any situation where a laptop or PC is not convenient.
Continue reading “AVR Standalone Programmer” »Choosing the correct AVR programmer depends on the requirements of your project, budget and your experience level. There are a number of factors to consider when making your decision.

Continue reading “Choosing a PIC Programmer” »A standalone microcontroller programmer is a device that can be used to program microcontrollers without the need for a computer. This makes them ideal for use in portable applications, or for programming microcontrollers that are not easily accessible by a computer. They also simplify production tasks as the operator can be relatively unskilled.
Continue reading “What is a Standalone Programmer?” »Atmel, now Microchip, have been moving away from AVR ISP programming method for some time. All the latest AVR microcontrollers now use UPDI programming interface but some ATtiny chips used TPI interface, which is discussed here.
