USBASP Verson 2.0

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 12:58pm

The 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.
