ATmegaProg Rev2

ATmegaProg Rev2 (Model: ATmegaProg2) transforms your Arduino Mega 2560 into a powerful, universal AVR programmer. Built around the industry‑standard STK500 v2 protocol, it delivers effortless compatibility with popular PC tools like avrdude, Microchip Studio/Atmel Studio and MPLAB IDE—so you can program, test and recover AVR microcontrollers with complete confidence.

Designed for versatility and simplicity, ATmegaProg Rev2 combines a ZIF‑40 socket with true 12 V high‑voltage programming. That means you can not only handle everyday ISP jobs but also unbrick devices with incorrect fuse settings, including chips with the RSTDISBL fuse set. If you work with AVR in the lab, classroom or small‑scale production, this is a reliable, cost‑effective upgrade to your toolkit.

• Turn your Arduino Mega 2560 into a universal AVR programmer – plug in, upload firmware and get straight to work.
• Wide protocol support out of the box – ISP, HVPP (High‑Voltage Parallel Programming) and HVSP (High‑Voltage Serial Programming) for maximum flexibility.
• 12 V high‑voltage capability – safely recover “bricked” AVRs and fix misconfigured fuse bits, including RSTDISBL.
• ZIF‑40 socket – quick, secure, wear‑resistant device insertion for a broad range of AVR DIP packages.
• STK500 v2 compatible – communicates over a simple serial interface for seamless use with avrdude, Microchip Studio/Atmel Studio.
• Minimal, efficient hardware – a streamlined design with just a handful of ICs plus passives keeps setup straightforward and robust.
• Future‑ready – designed with headroom to add protocols like TPI, PDI and UPDI via firmware updates.
• Clear status indication – on‑board indicators help you monitor activity at a glance.

ATmegaProg Rev2 uses the Arduino Mega 2560’s built‑in USB‑to‑Serial interface to keep the whole workflow simple: connect to your PC, select STK500v2 in your preferred software, and start programming. Whether you’re flashing bootloaders, developing firmware or rescuing chips with bad fuses, you’ll enjoy a fast, consistent experience.

Ideal for: makers, educators, embedded developers and technicians who need a reliable AVR programmer covering ISP, HVPP and HVSP in one compact solution.

• Compatibility: Broad range of AVR microcontrollers across popular ATmega and ATtiny families (DIP via ZIF‑40; other packages with suitable wiring/adapters).
• Requirements: Arduino Mega 2560 (for USB‑Serial and control) and familiarity with basic setup; SMT soldering skills recommended for assembly where applicable.

Upgrade your workflow with a single, versatile tool. Choose ATmegaProg Rev2 for dependable AVR programming, fuse recovery and smooth integration with the software you already trust.
