Typical Wiring Diagram

    AVR ISP Header (6-pin)
    ---------------------
    | 1 - MOSI  | 2 - VCC   |
    | 3 - GND   | 4 - RESET |
    | 5 - SCK   | 6 - MISO  |
    ---------------------

The matching header and pinout ensures standard compliance for most AVR-targeted projects. Use with in-stock jumper wires for breadboard or custom PCB setups.
