Review on πŸ”Œ Efficiently Program Your AVR with Sparkfun Pocket AVR Programmer by Vivian Kai

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Functional, some problems, still not the best programmer

Functional, includes a cable with two standard ASP/ISP sizes. PIN code compatible with my USBasp device. I bought it to program my ATMega328 chips which USBasp had a hard time programming. But even with a bypass circuit and the like, their programming seems pretty unreliable. Sometimes I have to try 3 or 4 times until it is properly programmed and tested. However, it will inevitably work. I cannot guarantee that the problem is not on my side. I would recommend an AVRISP clone over one of these super cheap ones. It's not much more expensive and fits the entire product line.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
