Is this an ISP programmer for AVR or STM?
(lemmy.world)
Neither. It's a USB-to-Serial converter with what might or might not be an FTDI chip.
Thank you
With some finagling, I believe ATMegas with the Arduino bootloader can be programmed using straight serial - you just have to time the reset pulse carefully.
I don't think you can use it as an actual AVR programmer for new bootloaders, fuses etc. though. You need a full MCU for that. If you have a spare Arduino or ATMega that is happy, you can use 'Arduino as ISP' to do it.
For questions about component-level electronic circuits, tools and equipment.
1: Be nice.
2: Be on-topic (eg: Electronic, not electrical).
3: No commercial stuff, buying, selling or valuations.
4: Be safe.
