USBasp - USB programmer for Atmel AVR controllers

USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers. It simply consists of an ATMega88 or an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed.

Features
Works under multiple platforms. Linux, Mac OS X and Windows are tested. No special controllers or smd components are needed. Programming speed is up to 5kBytes/sec. SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1,5MHz). Planned: serial interface to target (e.g. for debugging).

AVR USB programmer is a in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed.It is complete solution for programming popular AVR series of micro controllers with ease. This is a USB based programmer. Many new computers and almost all laptops doesn't have a serial or parallel port, so hobbyist face a lot of problems because all easy to make programmers are either serial or parallel port based. Moreover, it is faster than those programmers so programming big MCUs is now a whole lot of fun. Can be used with Low Cost ATmega development board for quick and economical startup with AVR micros. Compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Both 32bit and 64bit versions are supported. Some of the key features include:

Compatible with AVRDUDE version 5.2 up Works under multiple platforms. Linux, Mac OS X and Windows Programming speed is up to 5kBytes/sec SCK option to support targets with low clock speed (< 1.5MHz) Programs both Flash and EEPROM Supports Fuses and Lock Bit Programming Operates at Target Voltages from 3.3V to 5.5V USB Interface to PC for Programming and Control Takes Power from Target. No need for Additional Power Supply

ith the digital supply but connected via an LC network with the Vcc. You need not care this if you are not going to use the ADC(analog to digital converter) . You can connect AGND to GND and AVcc to Vcc. Crystal Oscillator This is like a heart for MCU. It provides a beat that makes the MCU take steps. In AVR series of MCU each clock pulse executes one instruction( some instruction needs more than one clock cycle to execute) For accurate timing in you application you need a crystal oscillator. It provides a clean and voltage and temperature independent clock source. Generally you can use crystals from 1 MHz to 16 MHz on most AVRs as required for your project. Reset Signal. This signal must be high(5V) for normal operation and can be pulled low to reset the device. You can connect a switch to reset the device from it. ISP Connector

For flexibility you should have a nice connector for is so that you can connected/disconnect a programmer easily for programming. The MCU has 3 PINs for the downloading a program in its flash namely MOSI Master Out Slave In MISO Master In Slave Out SCK Serial Clock That is for date transfer and you also need to connect RESET PIN of MCU to the ISP Connector so that programmer can put it in programming mode. One more pin should be their, that is the common or ground of the two systems. So all you need is a five PIN connector for programming.

75 RPM plastic geared motor (BO-Rectangle)

This is a 75 RPM low cost single shaft DC geared motor. It is most suitable for light weight robot requiring small power. Drive shaft has clutch for non continuous protection from overload which protects gears from the sudden overload. Motor runs smoothly from 2V to 12V and gives wide range of RPM, and torque. No load current as a function of voltage and stall torque, stall current as a function of voltage
Specification:

RPM: 75 at 12V Voltage: 2V to 12V Current: No load current and stall current are function of voltage. Clutch for non continuous protection from overload conditions Motor weight: 31gms
