Datasheet
POWER OPTIONS
There a three power options with the Handheld Programmer
1) Programmer powers target
Plug into unpowered target. Connector pin 2 (Vcc) must be
connected to Vcc on your board and all 4 GND pins must be
connected to target ground. Use battery or external PSU. There is a
150mA current limit for powering the target.
In Software, select Vcc needed by target circuit on Target Voltage
screen (0-5V)
2) Target Powered and Vcc connected to ISP Header
If target Vcc is connected to ISP header – Pin 2, then Set voltage in
software, on Target Voltage Screen, to 0V (or less than target
voltage). All 4 GND pins must be connected and target must be
powered.
3) Target Powered and Vcc NOT connected to ISP header
If target Vcc line is NOT connected to Pin 2 – Vcc on ISP header,
In Software, select Vcc on Target Voltage screen (0-5V) to match
target circuit voltage. Do connect all four GND pins to target
ground. Power Target
