ISP-fabTomization
The objective of this assignment is to make an in-circuit programmer (ISP) by milling the PCB, then optionally trying other processes..
To describe the process of milling, stuffing, de-bugging and programming, and demonstrate the workflow of the process and identify areas for improvment if required.
The FabTinyStar is yet another version of an AVR ISP programmer/board that can be produced in a fab lab using a milled PCB and readily available components. The project is based on the efforts of many people. For more history of the FabTinyStar and the people who have contributed to it, Zaerc's FabTinyStar page and Brian's FabTinyStar page.
Requirments:
// Shown how you made and programmed the board.Released: 15.02.2017
Week04: electronics production
// FabISP: Electronics Production
// Milling with Fab Modules and Roland Modela MDX-20
// FabISP: Programming WINDOWS users
Experience
The process consists of PCB fabrication, assembling the PCB, software installation, program the board and evantually testing the function and the programmer.
I would definitely read about What is ISP and what is PCB and what is AVR and i would research any word that crosses my eyes expecially if you dont have much knowledge in electronics.
#sideNote: One possible point of confusion in this document is that the device you're building will become an AVR programmer, but you also need a working AVR programmer in the process of building it. Your board refers to the new programmer that you are building. Programmer refers to the working programmer that you'll use to initialize yours. At the end of this document, your board becomes a programmer.
