This shield / carrier board, once assembled, turns your Arduino Nano, Arduino Pro Mini, or Arduino Pro Micro into an AVR ISP programmer. The ISCP socket is wired to work directly with the ArduinoISP ...

Next step is to program this chip using an Arduino board as an ISP programmer. Open the Arduino sketch which you want to upload. Connect the chip in the same configuration in above figures which you ...

The tutorial is fairly straightforward, and even demonstrates how the Arduino can be used as an ISP for the ATtiny, removing the need to purchase a standalone programmer.

Arduino Nano with ATmega328P is available in two variants: "ATmega328P" and the older "ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)". The newer variant uses an optimized bootloader which has double upload transfer ...

[Minifloat] is using his TI Launchpad development board as an In-System Programmer for AVR chips (translated). There are a ton of homebrew AVR programmers out there, and using an Arduino for ISP is… ...
