## Description

This compact USB serial UPDI programmer is made for programming modern ATtiny chips, including parts used on Adafruit seesaw boards such as the ATtiny816, ATtiny817 and ATtiny1616. It provides selectable 3V or 5V power and logic, along with handy status LEDs so you can see power and serial activity at a glance.The high-voltage feature adds an internal 12V pulse option on the UPDI line, useful when a chip has been configured to use the UPDI pin as reset or GPIO. It can also help unbrick chips configured for HV usage and reset fuses for low-voltage programming.Connection to your computer is via USB Type C using a CH340E USB serial converter. A JST SH cable is included for quick breadboard poking, and the board also breaks out 0.1&quot; spaced holes for custom wiring.Adafruit uses it with the Arduino IDE and the megaTinyCore board support package by selecting “Serial UPDI” as the programmer type. They use 230Kbps, with 56Kbps also noted as good; enabling high-voltage fuse settings requires editing boards.txt to remove the # comment tag on the “UPDI/RESET PIN CONFIGURATION” lines.Features:Selectable voltage: Select between 3V or 5V power and logic - the 3V regulator can source up to 500mA to run even big projects.High-voltage pulse: Internal 12V boost converter with analog switch that will send a pulse to the UPDI line when the RTS pin is toggled low.USB serial: CH340E USB Serial converter chip with cross-platform drivers.Loop-back resistor: 1K Loop-back Resistor between RX and TX.USB connection: USB Type C for data and power connection to any computer.Included cable: JST SH cable included for quick plugging into a breadboard.Breakout holes: 0.1&quot; spaced breakout holes for custom connections.Power LED: Green power OK LED.Serial LED: Red serial activity LED.Design inspiration: Inspired by an open-source hardware design from Stefan Wagner.Specifications:Product Dimensions: 29.0mm x 17.7mm x 4.9mm / 1.1&quot; x 0.7&quot; x 0.2&quot;Product Weight: 2.5g / 0.1ozA neat tool for anyone working with modern ATtiny parts, especially when you need both everyday Serial UPDI programming and high-voltage fuse recovery in one small board.

**Product Type:** Microcontroller Programmer
