SparkFun Tiny AVR Programmer

Key Features Plugs directly into your USB port and provides a programming socket for the ATTiny45 and 85 Shrink your Arduino projects down to "tiny size" No need for breadboards, jumper wires or a hardware programmer Easily prototype around the ATtiny without pulling and plugging it over and over. The ATtiny45 and 85 are a couple of really cool little MCUs but did you know you can program them in Arduino? That's right, now you can shrink your Arduino projects down to "tiny size" by moving your code straight over to these small but capable ICs. The standard method for programming the ATtiny ICs involves a breadboard, lots of jumper wires and a hardware programmer, but David Mellis over at MIT Media Lab has simplified the process by laying out this handy USB programmer.The Tiny AVR Programmer plugs directly into your USB port and provides a programming socket for the ATTiny45 and 85. Just slot an ATtiny with a DIP footprint into the socket, plug the programmer into your USB port and star
