This circuit is intended to program AVR controllers one of theses the AT90S1200 by manner of the parallel port. The circuit is extremely simple. IC1 gives buffering for the indicators that shuttle from the parallel port to the microcontroller and vice versa. This is essentially the entire thing that could be mentioned concerning the circuit. The two boxheaders (K2 and K3) have the ‘standard’ ISP (in gadget applicationming) pinout for the AVR controllers. The manufacturer suggests these two pinouts in an try to create a kind of standard for the in-circuit applicationming of AVR-controllers. These connections may also be found on many development boards for these controllers. The instrument carries out the true programming task.

It is subsequently essential to have a application (ATMEL AVR ISP), which is on hand as a free obtain from http://www.atmel.com. The development of the circuit must made on standard prototype board, on the grounds that we didn’t design a PCB for this circuit. This shouldn't present any difficulties taking into account the small selection of sections involved. We suggest that inexperienced builders first make a copy of the circuit and pass off every connection on the schematic as soon as it has been made on the board. This makes it simple to check in a whiles whether all connections had been made or no longer.
