Subject: [AVR-Chat] Programming multiple AVRs


Dear all,

  Is it possible to somehow program say 40 or 50 AVRs all at the same time?
Or somehow automate it?
Also is it possible to do this with Surface mount versions before they're
inserted into the PCB?

I've had a look and the only thing I can find has lots of 10way IDCs, so
I'd need to mount them all before programming them, which adds parts and
space (and hence cost) to the PCBs?

There are quite expensive gang programmers that will program several devices 
at the same time. I've designed a simple programmer PCB for the Tiny11 that 
takes the SOIC device, with an expensive adapter.
