Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Waveshare USB AVRISP XPII Programmer: Compatible with AVR ISP mkII and AVR Studio 4/5/6/7, Supports Advanced Versions by Derek Cage

Revainrating 5 out of 5

works with AVR Studio4

My ISP programmer on the STK500 development board has stopped working. When I connected this device to my Windows Vista computer, it recognized the USB driver in the studio4 software and listed it in Device Manager as AVRISP mkII. This device connects to the stk500 board and works as a programmer with the studio4 software. It also programs standalone externally powered devices. If the programmer is wired incorrectly, the red LED on the device lights up. When it touches the chip, it turns green. I have programmed the ATmega328/p and the ATmega1284p and they have worked well so far.

Pros
  • Supports all AVR ISP or PDI devices and about 51 devices Programs both Flash and EEPROM
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
