The Arduino ecosystem is an amazing learning tool, but even those of us who love it admit that even the simplified C Arduino ...

This is where the high voltage parallel programming mode will come into the picture and is the only way to recover the device. This mode is being supported by very few programmers. The entire HV ...

Standalone AVR programmer This sketch can be used to let one Arduino program a sketch or bootloader into another one, using the ISP programming pins. This sketch is based on OptiLoader, but modified ...

For instance, Arduino boards can act as a programmer tool for other AVR microcontrollers using an Arduino ISP and is one of the easiest and cheapest methods for programming AVR MCUs. The Arduino ...

AVR First Steps First steps at programming an AVR microcontroller outside of the Arduino environment. However we will be using an Arduino board as an ISP programer.

Now, there's a book that teaches you how to completely harness this power. Make: AVR Programming helps you discover how the AVR's built-in hardware peripherals solve design problems, allowing you to ...

Bottom line: If you've had some experience programming an Arduino, and you'd like to get to know the AVR chip more intimately, Make: AVR Programming is the book you need.

It is possible to use an Arduino for High Voltage Parallel Programming to recover your AVR, but that’s another hack in itself. We use an AVR Dragon for pretty much everything.
