Summary of Ponyprog Circuit for ATMEL’S AVR using microcontroller
The ATMEL AVR programmer utilizes the Windows-based Ponyprog software, compatible with 95, 98, and XP. It features an onboard circuit for specific AVRs and includes a J1 connector (CON10) to expand hardware support for other ICs. A JUMP1 jumper manages the crystal circuitry connection for 8-pin AVRs.
Parts used in the ATMEL AVR Programmer:
- ATMEL AVR microcontroller
- Ponyprog software
- J1 connector (CON10)
- JUMP1 jumper
- Crystal circuitry
The ATMEL AVR programmer works with the Windows program “Ponyprog” which works under 95, 98, XP.
On board the AVRs that can be programmed are those in the schematic. For other members of AVR family or the rest programmable ICs that Ponyprog can program, there is the J1 connector (CON10) which allows expanding the programmer’s hardware. See Ponyprog’s site for other’s ICs Ponyprog circuits. The JUMP1 jumper is there to connect the crystal’s circuitry to the 8-pin AVRs or to disconnect it.

- Which operating systems support Ponyprog?
Ponyprog works under Windows 95, 98, and XP. - How can I program other ICs not on the main schematic?
Use the J1 connector (CON10) to expand the programmer's hardware capabilities. - What is the function of the JUMP1 jumper?
The JUMP1 jumper connects or disconnects the crystal's circuitry to the 8-pin AVRs. - Can this programmer handle all members of the AVR family?
No, only those in the schematic are on board; others require the J1 connector expansion. - Where can I find circuits for other ICs supported by Ponyprog?
You can find these details on Ponyprog's official site. - Does the programmer require external hardware for non-schematic AVRs?
Yes, it requires the J1 connector to expand the hardware for other programmable ICs.
