Does anyone know if there is a product available somewhere that is essentially a board used to make ISP programming using the Arduino Uno a little easier?
I have in mind a very simple board with 6 male headers in position to feed into pins 13-10, GND, and 5V on the bottom of it, and on the top 6 male headers in a 3x2 .100" spacing to feed into female reciprocals on the destination board.
Seems like something a hobby shop might sell.
Gurgle found about 200000 results for "Uno ISP Shield", should be something suitable in that lot.
Or how about a simple cable to hook up the ISP headers directly?
Or... make your own using strip-board.
I made my own from strip-board, with a ZIF socket (good for Atmega328s and ATtiny85s) and a cable; best of both worlds.
Most of the shields I have seen use sockets for DIP connections.
I just wanted some male pin headers sticking up to fit into female pin headers. Or vise versa.
I can make my own, but the lead time of ordering a pre-made one is likely much shorter and gets around other complications.
It would just be a simple and fast solution and was wondering if anyone knew something. Else I will just do something in my spare time.
If you've got the bits in stock it's an easy job. The easiest option is using the ISP header on the Uno and a 3x2 female-female cable, you just need to strip the reset line out and solder a male pin to it.
If you've got to order the parts then searching for a pre-made solution would be quicker. It's one of the little projects you take on between major projects, when you've had enough of faffing with jumper wires 
HAHA. I didn't even see the ISP header on the Arduino. I could just order some long female pin headers for my main board and just slot the Arduino right onto that.
I wanted to avoid cables altogether. I hate using them for this purpose.
The reset wire really needs to be placed into D10 eh? Can't use the one one the ICSP?
I'd really like to just plug it onto my current system using pin headers only, and move away from wires.
The ISP header reset line is for resetting the Uno (an input only). The Arduino-as-ISP sketch outputs a reset signal on D10. There's no way to avoid that I'm afraid.
Unfortunate. I'll probably pick up a proto board and scrounge up some header pins over the weekend and make it.
has both the socket and the ISP connector...
(Now, why would you want to spend $15 for an ISP shield, plus the cost of the Arduino to attach it to, instead of getting a dedicated ISP programmer (at far less than $10, total, including the "less common" 6-pin cable), is another question.)
CrossRoads:
I have this standalone programmer available too, pick 1 of 16 or 1 of 255 files from SD card to program onto a card.
I wonder if there is anything you don't have! 
@westfw I can't reach that domain but I think that product is another one with a DIP socket which I didn't want.
@CrossRoads That is a pretty cool device.
The reason I was looking for something pre-built last week was to get something in quickly before the weekend. In the end I just ordered a few really cheap pieces Friday night, and I will build it today.

I haven't gotten into motor drivers or LCD panel drivers yet ... 8)
Altho I have designed a motor driver card for a customer with a magnetic rotation sensor chip.
Was quite the compact little card too!
