Jul 09Arduino ISP custom proto-board cable
Today I built this cable out of boredom.
I wanted to test my Eclipse-AVR setup to program an ATtiny13 and realized that I always had to make some crazy jumper connections every time I wanted to use a new µ.
Why didn’t I think of this earlier?
Probably because we just worked with a few Atmel and I had my own sockets for each of them.
Now I’m in hacker mood and want to really learn the guts of AVR µs.
hope you’ll like the idea.
I basically used 2 different diameter heat-shrink tubes.
- the first one is to make the wire and the pin tight together and to isolate against unwanted shorts,
- the second one is larger and I wrote on it using a really thin pen before shrinking.
it’s proven to be working really well.
update:
this version has red and black for VCC and GND and is much longer, as I noticed the former one required the AVRISP to be really close to the µ and sometimes it’s just not possible if you have a lot lying around on the same board.
and finally
