Introduction
8-way Atmel ATxmega and AVR standalone Handheld Programmer with 4MB of memory (512KB per slot) plus USB PC interface and software. Load the programmer from a PC using the USB PC interface and the software and then you do not need PC again. The 8-way standalone Hand Held Programmer is a completely portable AVR ISP and AVR UPDI programmer.
Just select the slot or image needed with the rotary switch, plug it into your target board and program/verify Flash and/or EEPROM and Fuses on your target AVR microcontroller with a single button press. Supports up to 512KBytes of code and data EEPROM for each of the 8 slots.
The PC interface is USB port.

- PC Dongle will power programmer
- Target Programming: Programmer switches on when button pressed and off when programming finished
- Powered by 9V PP3 battery or 9V PSU (2.1mm barrel, centre positive - see product accessories)
- Battery life depends on many factors but several hundred operations is normal
Version 3 Improvements
- Replaces HH0810X
- Better Power management stops battery from flattening if left connected
- Longer battery life
- Faster UPDI programming
- Support for AVR DA and AVR DB devices
- Latest PC software (V8) supports all versions of AVR Handheld Programmer
- Supports serial numbering in EEPROM or User Area
Accessories and Adapters
Extra USB Hand Held Programmers You only need one starter kit for as many programmers as you require
If you do not want to use the internal 9V PP3 battery, the power supply required is 9V with a 2.1mm Barrel connector, center positive, 300 mA minimum. These are available on the shop.
9V International Power supply for use with this programmer.
Available adapters
We now have adapters to convert from the standard Kanda 10-way AVR ISP lead to different 6-way headers and different pitch - 1.27mm or 2.0mm.
Full List of Available Adapters
Here are some popular adapters.
6-Way DIL adapter
6 x 1-way leads - included
6-Way Micromatch connector
1.27mm Adapter
UPDI Interface
The programmer comes with a flying lead adapter and 3 wires can be connected for UPDI programming - Blue is UPDI, green is VCC and brown is GND.
For 6-way UPDI (2.54mm/0.1") connection, use
12V UPDI adapter
For 10-way 1.27mm UPDI interface, use
AVR ICE Adapter
This has this pinout (same as Atmel ICE AVR connector)
Custom Adapters
If you need any other type of connector, we can supply all sorts of custom adapters - see
Custom Connectors
JTAG Interface
See
JTAG Adapter for ready made JTAG adapter
See
JTAG Pinouts PDF file for details of pin wiring.

Connections for ATE
AVR V3 handheld programmer can be used as a programming interface for ATE systems, using Labview, C or other programming language. The programmer has an ATE connection point on PCB that can be connected for remote control.
It has switch input to start programming and Status output showing programming, pass and fail. 8-way programmer slot select is also on connector.
