What is it?

The TinyLoadr AVR Programmer is an AVR breakout board with a single built-in ZIF socket. This allows you to easily program DIP microcontrollers using your existing 6 or 10-pin AVR programmer.

This breakout makes programming your ATtiny and ATmega AVRs a breeze. You can read more about the breakout board in this blog post.

Features

• No assembly required! All boards are hand soldered / assembled and tested
• Supports many Atmel AVR microcontrollers (see list below)
• Compatible with standard 6 or 10-pin AVR programmers
• Power LED indicator
• Blink LED for testing your microcontrollers
• 16MHz crystal
• 28-pin ZIF socket with all pins broken out
• 6 and 10-pin ICSP headers
• One socket for programming all different microcontrollers!
• M3 (3.2mm) size mounting holes

AVR Compatibility

The TinyLoadr AVR Breakout is designed to support a wide variety of AVR microcontrollers.

The built-in ZIF socket supports almost all 8, 14, 20, and 28-pin Atmel DIP AVR microcontrollers including, but not limited to:

• ATtiny11
• ATtiny12
• ATtiny13
• ATtiny15
• ATtiny24
• ATtiny25
• ATtiny44
• ATtiny45
• ATtiny84
• ATtiny85
• ATtiny2313
• ATtiny4313
• ATmega8
• ATmega48
• ATmega88
• ATmega168
• ATmega328P

Microcontrollers in the ZIF socket can use either their internal clocks or the included 16MHz external crystal.

Easy to use

The TinyLoadr AVR Breakout was designed to be very simple to use. To program a microcontroller with the ZIF socket, simply attach your AVR programmer via the 6 or 10-pin headers, set the "uC Select" jumper to the appropriate microcontroller, and insert the microcontroller as shown in the photos with the notch/dot facing left, and the microcontroller positioned on the left side of the socket.

Completely Open Source

Originally based on my own TinyLoadr AVR Programmer, the TinyLoadr AVR Breakout is completely open source! The project files are available on Github!

Notes

Interested in selling the TinyLoadr AVR Breakout in your shop? Bulk discounts are available! Contact me for details!

All orders will be shipped by Canada Post. The delivery time estimates can be found here. Note that these are not a guarantee.

I know that waiting for packages sucks, so all orders will ship as soon as possible! (Within 1 business day unless otherwise noted.) Note that orders made on the weekend or on Canadian public holidays (both national and Ontario holidays) will not ship until the next business day as per Canada Post Delivery Standards.

All products are assembled and tested here in Canada before they're sent out to ensure you receive a working product. Because they're assembled by hand products can sometimes have small cosmetic issues like a scratch on the PCB or a slightly crooked part. Rest assured though, these are only cosmetic and don't affect the functionality of the product.
