For powering the board I used a bench supply, you can also use 4 Ni-MH batteries connected in series which will give you about 5.5-6V when fully charged, so normal(not schottky) series diode is advised to drop the voltage by 0.6-7V. Cheers, Laci @Lee Linkoff,

I have some questions though. I am new to Microcontrollers and would like some explanation about the +5V supply and the black and red things in the upper right and corner. * What is being used to supply the 5V? (I'm assuming it is not in the picture? I'm assuming the ribbon cable on the left hand side in the center is the programming interface? Can you provide specs/detail about "avr mk2 programmer which has only the 6pin header, so I had to make the adapter cable"? Thanks! Regards, Lee Linkoff Thank you for this post.

I've been doing some AVR Assembly programming lately. Thanks for the review. Very cool. I’ve been doing some AVR Assembly programming lately. Thanks for the review.
