can somebody recommend me where to get atmega microcontroller burner with reasonable price in Malaysia? As for your information, this device is used for normal project which require simple function.
 

Can you build yourself some programmer ? Do you need some explicit uC to program or need to program wide range of uC ?
 

One of the simplest programmers you can make is https://electronics-diy.com/avr_programmer.php assuming that you have a serial port in your PC.

Then you can use this programmer to make a much better USB programmer https://www.fischl.de/usbasp/

On the other hand you can buy a USBasp programmer from ebay with a very low cost , less that $5 US including shipping.

hi alexan_e, thanks for those information...

sorry i am very week in this, i had search from the internet, the USBasp is just same like the pic you attach to me right? how i going burn my microcontroller chip?
isn't it need connect to external circuit that can place my atmega8l microcontroller?

and then http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/ , this is the device provide us direct burn to our microcontroller? we just need place our microcontroller into the device and plug in computer usb board?

thanks
 

Assuming that you have created the hex file you can use avrdude with the above USBasp programmer or ponyprog or any other software that used USBasp.

I personally use Burn-O-Mat , I use the downloaded version with avrdude and USBasp

In order to program the mega8 you need to connect the power supply (you can use the one provider from usb through the USBasp ISP output), connect a crystal or external clock if the clock source is changed from the default internal RC and connect the ISP pins.

USBasp output plug provides the RESET,+5v,GND, MISO, MOSI, SCK signals

means i need build a simple connection for my microcontroller and USBasp?

em.. can i connect https://www.cytron.com.my/usr_images/products/screen/UIC-S.jpg this with USBasp?
or any other device have the same function with this?
 

What you describe is for PIC, if you want you can make your own board similar to that with connections from the input plug to the correct AVR pin or use jumper cables so that it can be used with many AVR models

You can make an adapter board as shown https://www.edaboard.com/threads/239887/ (the board with the sockets only)

I don't know if you can find a ready adapter to buy.

If you do a search for ATMEL extension DIP board for AVR ISP you will find a few boards like the one above but the prices start from $20 US so they are quite expensive.
 


The ebay seller has a parallel port programmer with an ISP output and the board that has a ISP input and can be used with any programmer.
You can find parallel port , serial port and USB programmers with ISP output so it depends on what ports are available in your computer, most new models have no parallel port or serial.

I have no experience with the device in the second link, it says it is based on USBasp and can program most of the 40, 28, 20, 8pin AVR microcontrollers but I can't give you any info or verify this.
