ISP programmer
Strobist info:
SB800 hand held 8 inches (20cms) above subjects in DIY mini softbox and triggered via CLS.
A JeeNode SMD on the left - minus its regulator - it didn't survive the construction :-(
On the right is a JeeLabs prototype board which I had originally intended to use purely to provide the FTDI connection and have sandwiched between the JeeNode and the JeeLabs flash programmer board (which is why the male headers on the JeeNode, and the female headers on the prototype board are a bit shorter than usual (clipped and filed).
However once I'd done that I discovered the regulator on the board was dead, so was going to have to put a full size replacement on the prototype board, which I did. Whilst I was at it I decided just to wire all the ISP functionality I required onto the board too.
The more eagle eyed (and geeky) amongst you might notice the lack of a reset capacitor on the FTDI connector... 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).
