A programmer is a necessary tool when working with microcontrollers. The BIGAVR6 has an on-board AVRprog programmer
which provides an interface between the microcontroller and the PC. The $95ÀDVKSURJUDPLVXVHGIRUORDGLQJDKH[¿OHLQWRWKH

On the right side of the $95ÀDVK
program’s main window, there is
a number of options making the
programming of the microcontrollers
easier. Positioned in the bottom right
corner of the window, the 3URJUHVV
bar enables you to monitor the
programming progress.
