This is probably something that has happened to others before, but I hooked up my AVRISP MkI (the serial one) to 12V by accident and it let out the magic blue smoke.
If someone has a spare MkI that is collecting dust, I’d love to buy it off you.
Thanks!
I’ve got another one I blew up in the same way, if that is any use to you. 
I bought myself a Dragon.

Looks like the “killing your programmer with 12V” is like a rite of passage or something :lol:
The main atmega on the board is extremely hot when I try to turn it on, so I’m not sure if that’s shot thru or if it’s something else. In eithercase, I doubt it’s easy to repair.
I was thinking of getting the MkII from mouser or digikey for like $34, but that $40 can go else were (like more parts from sparkfun?).
