stevech:
ISP can share the I2C pins if the external device doesn’t interfere, e.g., is tri-stated or resistor isolated.It’s also common to use a bootloader and serial port.
so most all the AVRs ISP is done via SPI/I2C pins? that seems like it makes more sense then PICs having them on random port B pins…
You need additional hardware (max232) to do the serial thing i assume so im not too interested in that. Also i don’t have a serial port on my PC, same with a parallel port, no stk200 for me
