About the AVR ISP Pogo PCB
AVR ISP Pogo is an open source PCB design by kbob, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-4.0 license. It is a board measuring 17.8 × 22.9 mm, with 4 components from 3 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 2 ICs and 2 jumpers.
From the project
First KiCAD project. Learn KiCAD, blink an LED.
Blinking an LED as it was done in the 1970s (555) and the 1990s (AVR).
I am using this project to learn KiCAD and SMT fabrication. Also learning to use pogo pins to flash a microcontroller.
I designed and built a jig to hold pogo pins against the board's ISP headers to program the AVR. In the end, I did not use the jig; it did not press the pogo pins against the contacts hard enough to make a solid connection.
