BUILD YOUR OWN USBsap - USB programmer for Atmel AVR microcontrollers.

 COMMING SOON..........

            AVR microcontrollers are popular because of their Linux support and their softwares like AVRGCC and AVRDUDE.If you are interested to start learning microcontroller programming, AVR is a good option. It have a good software and hardware suppot all over the world. Simply we can use a printer cable (parellel port) as our programmer. Now a days it is really hard to find laptops with parallel port. So hear, first i would like to introduce HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN USBasp - USB programmer for Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
