uGrids done!

So excited that this build fired up first try. I was not prepared to troubleshoot any issues with 0602 package parts.

To flash the ATmega328P onboard I needed a programmer since all the ones I had on hand would only due basic PICs. I kept reading to get a legit Atmel AVRISPMKII programmer but really did not want to pay the high price tag. I also did not want to get the cheapest knock off I can find… so I did a little research on AVRDude forums and found this one.

Compatible Atmel AT AVRISP mkII

I was surprised to see that it worked out of box with ATMEL Studio 7

Now.. what to build next.
