Atmel AVRISP mkII Original USB In-System Programmer | AVR ISP mk2 XPII Supports Atmel Studio 5–7 & Arduino Bootloader

Product Description

The Atmel AVRISP mkII (AVR ISP mk2 / XPII) is a high-quality USB In-System Programmer (ISP) designed for programming and debugging Atmel AVR microcontrollers directly on the target circuit.

Developed by Atmel (now Microchip), this original programmer provides fast, reliable, and accurate programming via the ISP (In-System Programming) interface. It supports a wide range of AVR devices and works seamlessly with Atmel Studio 4, 5, 6, and 7, as well as with AVRDUDE for command-line and Arduino use.

The AVRISP mkII connects to your PC via USB and interfaces with your target board through a 6-pin or 10-pin ISP connector. It automatically adapts to the target’s supply voltage, making it a dependable tool for professional engineers, educators, and electronics enthusiasts.
