We recently selected a new USBASP supplier who has made a few improvements.
- Addition of PPTC resettable fuse on 5V supply from USB
- JP1 (Supply Target) now has a 3 pin header to allow the selection of 3.3V on pin 2 of the ISP connector
- JP3 (Slow SCK) has been added back. This jumper was previously removed as the programmer supports software control of the SCK. Now to have a choice to use the jumper or the software control
As before, the programmers are just $18.00
Updated USBASP Windows Driver
19-Jan-2012 12:58pmThe USBASP windows driver is based on libusb-win32. Back in May last year, we released version 1.2.4.0 of the driver. That version was a big improvement over the previous one as it was partly signed.
Since then, the libusb-win32 project has released version 1.2.5.0 of their driver. This driver is now fully signed, so installation is easier than before.

ATmega328 now available
7-Sep-2011 4:16pm
We’ve been getting a lot of requests to stock Atmel ATmega328 microcontrollers and they have finally arrived. The ATmega328-PU is the through-hole variety and fits onto our 28 pin AVR Development Board.
The ATmega328 is almost identical to the ATmega168a but has double the Flash, double the EEPROM and double the SRAM.
It can be purchase individually for $5.80 or as part of a development kit for $20.80.
