Programmer for Baby-o

I have this USB programmer:
USBasp AVR Programming Device for ATMEL proccessors

Will this work with the Baby-O? Or do I need to get the Pololu USB programmer?

Thanks,

Hello.

The Baby Orangutan gives direct access to the on-board ATmega328p’s serial programming lines, so you do not need a special programmer for it. If the programmer you linked to is really a general-purpose AVRISP progrogrammer, it should work with the Baby Orangutan. However, that programmer uses the older-style 10-pin ISP header, so you will need an adapter to connect it to the Baby Orangutan’s 6-pin ISP header. Also, make sure you remove jumper J1 on your programmer so that it isn’t trying to power the Baby Orangutan’s VCC line.

If you look at the product photo, the supplied programming cable is wired to provide both the 10- and 6-pin female connectors. Seems like a good deal.

Thanks for catching that, Jim.
