\"My<\/a>

My tweaked FabISP, the FabISPkey<\/p><\/div>\n

This semester, I’ve been fortunate enough to take Neil Gershenfeld’s How to Make (Almost) Anything<\/a>. For one of the first assignments, we’ve been tasked with fabbing (routing on the modella and stuffing) Neil’s FabISP<\/a> which is based on David Mellis’s FabISP<\/a> which is based on Limor’s USBTinyISP<\/a> which is based on Dick Streefland’s USBTiny<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I decided I could make a few tweaks to the design, electrically and mechanically. First, I tried out my mechanical modifications before I dove too deeply into electrical modification. First , I redrew David’s schematic<\/a> in EagleCAD. I replaced the USB connector with a board edge USB connector from the SparkFun library. I also replaced the crystal with one that I had on hand, which ended up being a mistake because I decided to use the one in the Fab inventory, which is smaller.<\/p>\n

One thing to note, I use a ground pour, because I figure if I’m going to have extra copper on my board, I’d like to know what it’s connected to. As a whole, my design is smaller then both Neil’s and David’s and dispenses with the USB connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to play along at home, you can grab fabbable PNGs above and you can get the design files with a simple git checkout
\n
\ngit clone git:\/\/git.bardagjy.com\/fabisp
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Since my design is electrically similar to Neil and David’s, programming is very similar. Solder the reset jumper (the one closest to the processor), power the board (using a USB port, or USB charger), program it with another programmer (make hex, make fuse, make program), unplug and desolder the jumper.<\/p>\n

The board is a little thin, it might require a small shim (0.010″) underneath the connector to feel solid in your USB port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
