Fecha: 17/06/2003 11:01:26 Mensaje: Carlos, I've taken the liberty of sending you a copy a PDF file of the schematic of the dongle that comes with the STK development boards from ATMEL. The software I've use is called PonyProg and you can download (for free) the latest version at http://www.lancos.com/ . I have use both together to develop several ATMEL-based projects, most recently using the ATmega103 & ATmega128 chips.
