ArduinoISP adapter

A small adapter I made for programming Atmel chips, based on the ArduinoISP circuit from the Arduino website.

I managed to cram the circuit onto a fairly small piece of veroboard by hiding the crystal capacitors inside the socket along with some of the links to get power to both sides of the chip being programmed

The circuit performed flawlessly. After burning the bootloader I dropped the freshly programmed chip into the socket on my Freeduino, programed it with the blink sketch and was greeted with a blinking LED. Now to get stuck into building the circuit I plan to use this chip in…
