ISP programmers.
Strobist info:
SB800 hand held 8 inches (20cms) above subjects in DIY mini softbox and triggered via CLS.
These are my ISP programmers. The one on the right is a JeeNode V4 with the Jeelabs flash programmer installed. I thought this was a bit of a waste of a full wireless enabled JeeNode, so I bought one of the cheaper and smaller (non wireless) JeeNode SMD boards.
The plan was to build the FTDI interface for the SMD board, then slide the flashboard down on top of that sandwiching it (which is why the pins and headers on the prototype board are all trimmed/filed, it allowed everything to connect nicely).
Unfortunately the regulator on the SMD board didn't survive the construction, so I had to add a full sized one on the prototype board instead... And then I thought I might as well wire up the pins I need to make it an ISP programmer in its own right...
The more eagle eyed (and geeky) amongst you might notice the lack of a reset capacitor on the FTDI connector I made for the SMD board... This is deliberate. I don't want to accidentally reprogram this board when it's supposed to be providing the protocol conversion interface so I can program something else.
So to reprogram this you either have to go through the cunning timing acrobatics of the original arduino board, or use the other ISP programmer (which is exactly how I loaded the AVR ISP software onto it).
So now I have two!
