8-way AVR V3 Handheld

AVR and XMEGA 8-way Handheld Programmer

This version works with all Kanda PC USB dongles (DONGLE, DONGLE2 and DONGLE3).
Each of the 8 slots can hold up to 512KBytes for code, data EEPROM, User Area, fuses and lock bits, enough for all ATxmega and ATmega2561.

8-way Handheld Programmer Benefits

This 8-way standalone programmer makes it simple to update firmware in both Atmel ATxmega and AVR microcontrollers. You select which of the 8 slots is needed with a rotary switch, then you plug it into the target and press the button. That's all you need to do.

You load your firmware, fuse settings etc. for each slot from the PC using a Kanda USB dongle and simple software. Once it is loaded, you can program as many targets as you want.

Contents

• 8-way AVR XMEGA V3 standalone Handheld Programmer
• 10-way Programming lead
• 10 to 6-way flying lead adapter for ATxmega microcontrollers

This is just the 8-way handheld programmer without USB loader.See related products for Starter Kit - HH0810V3. This programmer will work with all Kanda USB dongles, so if you already have any handheld starter kit, it will work with this new version.

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

JTAG Interface
See JTAG Adapter for ready made JTAG adapter

See JTAG Pinouts PDF file for details of pin wiring.

AVR 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

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.
