AVR-Chat

I am new to avr, but not micros.  I would like to build my own avr programmer for USB, and was wondering if there is any open source programmer for avr that is decent (programs a fair range of avr).  I have access to other programmers I can use to program the USB avr, so that is not a problem.  
  Also, if there is any PIC based avr programmers, I would love to hear about them.......I understand that this comment is likely to get flamed.

Try
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=83281&highlight=programmer

also try
www.smileymicros.com

the AVRISPmkII is a commercial one from Atmel for about $35

www.avrfreaks.net
is a great place to get info on AVRs

Why bother building when Atmel will sell an AVRISP2 for $35 that does
everything, and USB too?

A little less polished, the AVR Dragon will do ISP, JTAG ICE, and
DebugWire ICE for $50 on the smaller AVRs. Also via USB.

IMO one is better off spending one's time building product than dorking
around making tools.

There is a free one on my site www.elkhashab.com with the pcb, schematic,
parts, etc.  I've even got some PCBs -- the ones I have are an older version
with an error, but it is just a cut and jump to make it work.  It can easily
be hand assembled in 1/2 hour or so.
