I think now a days as serial and parallel ports are no more in use....with all programmers using laptops... USB AVR programmer is the most sorted for...
I have purchased the same from internet and faced following issues before i could properly get it installed...
Ok let me go one by one
Vista 64 bit: If this is your OS then boss you got to do many things before you start your actual programming.
As you know AVR Studio; WinAVR; Ponyprog are the tools that are used for programming an AVR MCU, we get compilation problems with WinAVR in Vista 64.
Pls click here to get you to the post regarding the same.
Then comes the part where you have to install drivers to recognize your USB programmer.
There are drivers provided in the kit that you buy, but most often its likely that they dont give the drivers for Vista 64.
So pls download the drivers from the below link for Vista 64
http://www.protostack.com/download/USBasp-driver-0.1.12.2.zip
Once you download connect your USB programmer and direct the hardware installation wizard to the path where you have downloaded the driver and install the same.
And when you install the same you may encounter erros saying that digital signature is required and so and so.
Pls go with the option of install it any way.
Then go to the device manager in Control panel. You can see that USBasp is installed but will have a yellow triangle indicating that its not properly installed.
Do nothing now.
Reboot the system and press F8 before its starts. You will find an option where you can "Disable driver signature enforcement". Once the computer starts check for the device manger and you will see that the yellow triangle disappeared.
This indicates that boss you have successfully installed USBasp driver in order to recognize your programmer.
Here is the link of the vendor where i bought the USB AVR programmer.
