This makes it easier to use, as you don’t need to hunt around looking for which COM port it has attached itself to. FTDI appears as a virtual COM port, whereas the USBTiny has native USB drivers. The USBTiny has its own USB drivers, and therefore differs from other programmers like the FTDI ones you’ve probably used. I went this route as I had an Atmel microcontroller that I needed to program fast. If you want to get up and running even faster, then Sparkfun sell a Pocket AVR Programmer, based on Adafruit’s USBTinyISP and Dick Streefland’s USBTiny. Learn more about the project, how to build your own, or buy a kit over at Adafruit. The USBTinyISP is a collaborative effort, in the spirit of open source hardware development. I use my USBTiny all the time to program my Toadstool Boards. ![]() This ticked a few boxes for me: it was open-source, it was easy to build yourself (if you prefer that), and it was cheap to buy (if you didn’t want to build one). After a fair bit of research I came across a great project – the USBTinyISP. When I first started with Atmel Studio, I was a little taken aback at the cost of the programmers needed to flash my programs onto the microcontroller. ![]()
