Once these connections are made, we are good to move ahead. The table below shows the pins of the USBasp and the MCU that should be connected together. If you are using a board that does not have a similar connector port for the programmer, or your MCU is on a breadboard, you will need to connect the pins individually. The most commonly available USBasp has a 10 pin connector as can be seen in the above image. The USBasp supports a large number of microcontrollers from ATMEL. If you have not already got one, you can get it here. Ofcourse, the first requirement in this post is the USBasp. The programmer uses a firmware-only USB driver, no special USB controller is needed. It simply consists of an ATMega88 or an ATMega8 and a couple of passive components. USBasp is a USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers.
