Connecting AVRISP to Arduino (Part 1)
This post introduces a new series dedicated to Avr programmers
We will start today with the AvrISP mkII, a small, quite cheap and handy programmer. Not like usual, I will not put a good word on Arduino. Arduino boards are missing the little red dot next to pin 2 from the ICSP connector in order to prevent mistakes and avoid some unexpected smoky board: ah, the smell of hot semiconductors…
So, here is a short recap of the way to connect an AVRISP (Mark II) on Arduino UNO.
Pinout of the ICSP connector on board (view from top):
---
MISO |1 2| +5V
SCK |3 4| MOSI
RST |5 6| GND
---
Pinout of the ICSP connector on cable:
cable side
---
---red-- +5V |2 1| MISO
-------- MOSI |4 3| SCK
-------- GND |6 5| RST
---
This means that the header tab faces the reset button when properly installed on the Arduino board.
Here is the final assembly
Next post shall explain how to burn a bootloader on arduino via the ICSP.
