Review on Geekstory Microcontroller Programmer Downloader Adapter by Jason Man

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Software not updated

I got this for programming Arduino Nano Clone boards with AVRdude. AVRdude complained about the possible need to update the device software. The update process requires a second working programmer, which I ordered, so now I have two of them. In order to program the device, it was necessary to install jumpers, but the contacts were not installed. The holes were there and marked, they just didn't put the pins. I finally decided I was spending too much time debugging the programmer and bought a third one from another vendor that seems to work a little better. the 10-pin to 6-pin adapter is a bit fragile; The 6-pin ribbon connector has come loose from one of the adapters.
