ArduinoISP Deluxe Shield - easily program attiny + atmega microcontrollers

(Edit: I decided to rename the shield to avoid any trademark issue with the Arduino folks. It is now known as the TinyLoadr Shield)

I just got in the latest version of my ArduinoISP Deluxe Shield. I designed this shield to easily program microcontrollers using the ArduinoISP sketch and an Arduino. The latest version supports the following microcontrollers:

  • ATtiny13
  • ATtiny24/44/84
  • ATtiny25/45/85
  • ATtiny2313/4313
  • ATmega168/328

And it should also work with any other microcontroller that is pin-compatible with one of those listed (like the ATtiny13, and ATmega8/48/88).

It's very easy to use and is really helpful if you like using bare AVR microcontrollers in your projects like I do. If you'd like to learn more about it, you can check out this blog post. If you'd like a shield for yourself, then I'm selling them over at Tindie.
