Recently I bought a USB ISP for ATMEL AVR serires controller. (somewhat Similar to picture attached).
I attached the programmer with ATMEGA128A chip with crystal & other basic components, the chip is being written & read, now I want to know for running the hardware which will include a 16x2 LCD I need to detach the ISP & then provide the external power supply or can I provide the 5Volt supply without detaching the ISP, I'm afraid of any harm to PC as USB +5volt supply will also be attached.
I bought the Programmer from a local distributor in INDIA (mumbai) & the programmer is chinese (**broken link removed**)
