For product lines and categories, browse our programmers in stock to compare models and interfaces.
| Programmer Type | Typical Use | Common Targets |
|---|---|---|
| USB Debug Probe | Interactive debugging and flashing | STM32, ESP32, ARM Cortex-M |
| ISP Programmer | Production or in-circuit programming | AVR, PIC |
| Standalone EEPROM/Flash | Chip-level read/write and duplication | SPI/NOR/NAND EEPROMs |

Selection checklist, wiring basics and compatibility notes
Selection checklist
- Confirm target device family and required protocol (SWD/SWC/JTAG/ICSP).
- Verify voltage compatibility and if level shifting is needed for lower-voltage MCUs.
- Decide on standalone vs PC-attached workflow depending on production needs.
- Include accessories: short ISP cables, pogo-pin adapters, and anti-static packaging for reliable connections.
Basic wiring example (ISP to AVR)
MOSI -----[Pin 4] ProgrammerMISO -----[Pin 1] ProgrammerSCK -----[Pin 3] ProgrammerRESET ----[Pin 5] ProgrammerVCC -----[Pin 2] Target VCCGND -----[Pin 6] Target GND
Always check pin numbering on your target PCB and confirm power sequencing: if uncertain, power the target from the same regulated source as the programmer or use a powered programmer capable of supplying target VCC.
Compatibility & common brand support
Communica stocks many popular brands and maker favourites suitable for student labs and engineering teams. For brand browsing, see our Shop by Brand page.

Troubleshooting quick tips
- Driver issues: check OS driver install and use the vendor utility to verify detection.
- Communication errors: confirm voltage match and correct wiring; use a logic probe or multimeter.
- Bootloader conflict: ensure device is in programming mode or hold reset as required by the protocol.
Accessory bundles and procurement for education & labs
We offer accessory bundles with programmers that include ISP cables, SOIC clip adapters and USB cables-ideal for student labs and prototype benches. Request a tailored quote with VAT invoicing for tertiary or departmental procurement to simplify purchasing and asset tracking.
