What Is an AVR ISP Shield PTH Kit?
An AVR ISP (In-System Programming) Shield PTH (Plated-Through-Hole) Kit is an essential accessory for students, hobbyists, and engineers working with Atmel (Microchip) AVR microcontrollers. This shield allows convenient programming of AVR MCUs using standard 6-pin or 10-pin ISP interfaces on breadboards or project PCBs.
With its through-hole (PTH) construction, you receive all required components-headers, sockets, resistors, and the PCB-to solder and assemble yourself. This format offers maximum flexibility for education, repairs, or modifications, making it a staple in labs, university projects, and embedded workshops throughout South Africa.
Why Use an AVR ISP Shield?
- Supports programming of popular AVR MCUs: ATmega328, ATmega16, ATtiny85, and more.
- Widely compatible with standard AVR ISP tools (USBasp, Atmel ICE, AVRISP mkII, etc).
- Eliminates jumper wires-just align with your breadboard or development board for quick, reliable connections.
- PTH kit allows easy soldering, ideal for students and makers perfecting assembly skills.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Supported Targets | Most AVR DIP MCUs (e.g. ATmega328, ATtiny13xx, ATmega16) |
| Supported Programmers | Atmel ICE, USBasp, AVRISP mkII, compatible clones |
| Assembly | Plated Through-Hole, all parts included (PCB, headers, resistors) |
| Connector Type | 6-pin and 10-pin ISP headers |
| Voltage Compatibility | Typically 3.3V-5V (check shield documentation for details) |

Assembly and Usage Overview
- Open the AVR ISP Shield PTH Kit and identify components: PCB, resistors, ISP headers, and pin headers.
- Solder components onto the board following included or downloadable assembly guides.
- Plug the shield onto your breadboard with AVR target IC inserted. Connect your compatible ISP programmer.
- Use your development interface (e.g., AVRDUDE, Atmel Studio, PlatformIO) to flash code or bootloader directly to your MCU.

Compatibility & Local Availability
Before purchasing, confirm that your AVR target (e.g., ATmega328P) uses the standard ISP pinout. This kit is designed for use with DIP (through-hole) MCUs and may not fit SMD footprints unless you use SMD-to-DIP adapters (also available at Communica).
Typical Applications
- Engineering practicals and coding labs with ATmega/ATtiny breadboard circuits
- Bootloader burning on Arduino-style boards
- Prototyping custom embedded control, sensing, or hobby robotics projects
