USBprog

Open source Swiss Army knife

Published in issue 370, October 2007

USBprog
A new microcontroller, and yet another new programmer? Anyone involved with microcontrollers today will have a drawerful of printed circuit boards and adaptors for programming various devices. Enter USBprog, which can replace all those with a singleunit, As a bonus, it can even be used as a general-purpose USB I/O port and RS-232 adaptor.
