Atmel AVR ATmega16 Programmer - Cheap Parallel Port Programmer
from Web Captain.
This is one of the simplest low cost programmers for the Atmel ATmega series.
If a Flash program memory PIC like the PIC16F876 is not enough (RAM size, I/O port pins etc.), the Atmel ATmega microcontrollers are really handy - especially the ATmega16 with 40pins (I2C, SPI, USART, A/D, 2 external interrupts, PWM etc.). The hardware is pretty straightforward. It is based on the "DAPA - Direct AVR Parallel Access" idea - you can use any programmer software as long as DAPA is supported.
It's tested with the ATmega16 and "uisp" on Linux, but it should work with any Atmel uC which supports SPI based in-circuit software programming and any programmer software which supports the DAPA interface. This programmer should work with the pin-compatible ATmega32 without any modifications, but I have not tested that.
