This is a barebones programmer, for people who want to get into microcontroller programming 'on the cheap'. Plugs into your serial port and is supported by popular programmers such as PonyProg, AVRDUDE (included with avr-gcc), uisp, etc. Usually called a "DASA" serial port programmer. Uses the standard 10 pin AVR pinout. Is not self-powered, you must provide ~3-5V to the circuit in order to program the chip.

Supports all Atmel AVRs that can have 'serial in circuit programming':
AT90CAN128, AT90PWM2, AT90PWM3, AT90S1200, AT90S2313, AT90S2333, AT90S2343, AT90S4414, AT90S4433, AT90S4434, AT90S8515, AT90S8535, ATmega103, ATmega128 ,ATmega1280, ATmega1281, ATmega16, ATmega161, ATmega162, ATmega163, ATmega164, ATmega169, ATmega2560, ATmega2561, ATmega32, ATmega324, ATmega329, ATmega3290, ATmega48, ATmega64, ATmega640, ATmega644, ATmega649, ATmega6490, ATmega8, ATmega8515, ATmega8535, ATmega88, ATtiny12, ATtiny13, ATtiny15, ATtiny2313, ATtiny25, ATtiny26, ATtiny45, ATtiny85

Also used as the interface dongle for the SpokePOV project, instructions for assembly are available there.

HOW TO – Getting AVR tools working on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)
Reg shows you how to get AVR tools working on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)! He writes - Building the AVR toolchain by hand also thwarted me somewhere in the building of the avr-binutils package — it doesn’t want to build on my Mac.  As soon as I entered the dependency hell of installing an upgraded read more...

Lars shows you how to program an ATtiny13 with the Adafruit USBtinyISP- To program the ATtiny13 or other AVR tiny microcontrollers I use the USBtinyISP. It is a diy build programmer, you can buy a package and you only need to solder. The nice thing is that it works with USB and can power the circuit read more...

Using an AVR as an RFID tag
Sketchy Micah writes - Experiments in RFID, continued… Last time, I posted an ultra-simple “from scratch” RFID reader, which uses no application-specific components: just a Propeller microcontroller and a few passive components. This time, I tried the opposite: building an RFID tag using no application-specific parts. Well, my solution is full of dirty read more...
