I got my inspiration from a Spanish site from a guy that inspired me to build my first Arduino, but when I checked there, the stripboard-illustrations of his programmer were gone. I know there are dozens of circuits and designs floating around on the internet, but I just never got around to actually making one, so if you are like me, this is just a little push to tell you to 'just do it' it takes maybe 10 minutes from scrap to programmer. Couldnt quickly locate it, maybe a rotten cable, but I didnt want to lose more time so I put together a quick and simple Attiny programmer. Didn't get that to work, always got the dreaded 'Yikes, invalid device signature' message, that is usually a sign of a bad connection.


After I was really fed up always making the MOSI, MISO, Reset, SCK, Vcc and Ground connection with wires in order to program an Attiny85/45/13, I bought an USBASP programmer (real cheap).
