From the MAKE Flickr pool As a first foray into the realm of professional PCB fabrication, Flickr member A.Square designed this 6-pin breadboard adapter for programming AVR chips – I built and have been using an Evil Mad Scientist Labs-style minimalist target board. It works great, but the problem is you more-or-less need a different […]
