After a aggrevating week of fixing Windows, finally back on the programmer track. Read through the docs, but mostly to see what I need to find and buy, not so much for what I got myself into... Have to read in more detail about the fuses.
The USB cable was an easy find, price ranges from $1.65 to $9.00, some kund of mark up there (bet the shipping is outragious too). Oh, while on the USB port... The docs say it needs to supply 500mA. Not sure what is normal to expect, but a little concerned as they mentioned a few times about posably needing a self-powered hub. If anybody knows what a USB port on a PC should handle, please share.
For ISP and JTAG programming I'll need to find a 6 pin and 10 pin header connector 2.54 mm (guessing the space between pins). I've got header pins (just have to find them).
I ordered a universal 40 pin ZIF socket with my chips, good thing I decided to, the price seemed reasonable.
Something that might be a real pain to find are some 1 and 2 pin header connector cables. Will have to change various connections to the ZIF, depending on which chip I'll be programming.
Should probably have waited a few months, The dragon might come with a ZIF and connectors by then...
Anybody got a good source for header connectors. I'm a little search burnt from the Windows thing all last week...
