ISP Flasher Adapter for Mega8 Atmel AVR TQFP32

thingiverse

Many DIY microcontroller projects demand that you program or flash the uC before you can use it in a circuit.\r\n\r\nSmaller PCBs often don't give you the chance to access the uC chip at its ISP pins for flashing easily, so the easiest way is to program the uC before soldering it to the PCB.\r\n\r\nWith this affordable DIY adapter plate, you can just do this. Press the uC into the quad hole to contact all 6 ISP pins and it connects with the programmer device.\r\n\r\nTo assemble this unit, use 6 braided wires and remove all but one copper string at their ends. Wind the thin single wire through the 6 tiny holes at the quad opening and glue the "fat" end into the joint socket on the adapter plate (see pictures).\r\n\r\nTo program the uC, place it upside down into the quad hole (the indicator dot shows you the orientation). Check that the 6 contact wires are aligned, then press the uC firmly into the opening to start. The single copper strings make good contact with the uC - it's cheap and simple, but it works!\r\n\r\nPrinted with a 0.1mm step, 0.4mm nozzle, and 40% infill. No support structure is required.
