The Atmel ICE is a fantastic tool for programming and debugging AVR and Atmel ARM chips. However, the included cable has a connector with a pin pitch of only 1.27mm. I made a header adapter to make this Atmel ICE more useful for normal spaced 2.54mm connectors.
Bad news. My trusty AVR ISP MKII died. I plugged it into a board which in this specific case cannot be programmed at the same time. The programmer died with the familiar smell of burned electronics. Bummer… just order a new one. To my surprise this model was not made anymore. The replacement: the Atmel ICE.
Ok. Time to check the local distributors inventories: none. Expected delivery: in 2 months. How on earth could I not program AVR chips for two months? The Atmel ICE programmer/debugger was so fresh on the market, no one in Europe has stock.
Then USA stock checking it is. Hey, atmel.com store has is, however, shipping costs were too high for me. Digikey had some in stock also.
After submitting the order with Digikey I waited a few days and the programmer arrived. My impression was that I was getting a programmer twice the size of my old because of the two connectors on the front. I assumed they were standard 10 pin 2.54mm connector and by that guessed the size of the programmer. However, when I got it, I was surprised. The Atmel ICE was roughly the same as my broken AVR ISP MKII but with tiny 1.27mm pin pitch connectors.
The included adapter cable was only useful for programming chips with 6-pin ISP 2.54mm connectors, which I do not have many of. I wanted the old 10-pin 2.54 ISP connector also. And, since it can program ARM chips also, want a 20-pin (old) standard ARM/SWD connector.
Time to make an adapter board.
The schematic is really simple. Just connect every signal of every pin to every other pin on the new connectors.
Someone at Atmel had a bright moment. On the SAM connector every pin used can be found on the AVR connector. This means the header board only needs to use one or two programming ports to connect to.
The board was ordered with my favorite Chinese cheap board house. After soldering I sticked it on the Atmel ICE with some double sided sticky tape. The existing 1.27mm programming cable was used to connect to the header board. It works beautiful. I do not use any 1.27mm connectors yet, but I included them in the schematic.
What can I connect with this board?
- 10 pin 2.54mm ISP for Atmega/attiny chips
- 6 pin 2.54mm ISP for Atmega/attiny chips
- 20 pin 2.54mm SWD/ARM connector for Atmel ARM chips.
- 20 pin 2.00mm SWD/ARM connector
- 10 pin 2.00mm SWD/ARM connector
- 10 pin 1.27 ARM cortex debug connector.
Also nice are the printed status labels. The status leds on the Atmel ICE are not marked with the functions they have. The header board includes the status labels for each led. (Target connected, Power and Programming status).
During preparation I measured each pin on the Atmel ICE and came up with the following matrix describing each pin of the two connector:
SAM | AVR JTAG | SWD | aWire 6-pin | PDI 6-pin | debugWIRE 6-pin | SPI 6-pin | TPI 6-pin |
1 | VTG | VTG | |||||
2 | TMS | SWDIO | |||||

Nice board!
I just got the Atmel-ICE and the little cable it came with doesn’t connect to anything that I have.
Are you selling these little boards?
Hi David,
I do not actively sell them, however, I have a few extra onces I do not use. Are you interested in the bare pcb?
Yes! I would love one of the bare boards!
The smell of burning solder is sweet!
Please let me know what you would like for the bare PCB!
Thanks!
Hi David,
I have sent you an email with details.
Perfect board !
This board is better than original triangle board from Atmel 😉
If you still have extra board, I will buy it.
If it is not possible, I will buy eagle board 😉
Thanks !
Yes, there are some boards left over. I will send you an email.
Very nice and useful project! I bought Atmel-ICE yesterday and I’m searching of adapter for that. Can you share project file of PCB, or maybe you can sell bare pcb?
Hi Robert,
I do not actively sell them, however, I have a few extra onces I do not use. Are you interested in the bare pcb?
Hi! Yes, I’m very interested of bare pcb. Can you send this pcb to me? I’m from Poland. Of course, I will pay all costs. Do you see my e-mail address? If you see, please send me an e-mail.
Hi Robert,
I will send you an email.
What is the part number on the Atmel ICE 10-pin header? I remember seeing it published once but forget where it was.
This one?
http://nl.farnell.com/te-connectivity-amp/1-1634688-0/header-box-straight-10way-2-54mm/dp/8395918
That seems to have 2.54mm spacing. I was interested in the one that has 1.27mm spacing, both the one on the Atmel ICE board itself and the female plugs.
I have no idea what the part number is for the female 1.27mm plug. I ordered the male pins on ebay. Search for 1.27mm pin header.
Greetings Sir!
Do you still have an extra bord that you dont need?
I would like to buy it. I have the same problem like the
sir above. I bought Atmel Ice, and I cant find any adapter
for this little 50mil devil. Can you help?
Best Regards.
Yeah sure, there are not much left. I will send you an email with details.
Hello Merc,
That looks like a really nice adapter. I’ve been considering of buying an Atmel-ICE unit. But I haven’t decided which version to get yet.
Is your header adapter a direct replacement of Atmel’s own odd shaped adapter that comes with the full kit version of Atmel-ICE? http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/ATATMEL-ICE/ATATMEL-ICE-ND/4753379
Is it possible for you to kindly share the pcb files?
Bests,
Ashfaque
Hi Ashfaque,
Not it is not an replacement of the cable you get with the Atmel ICE. The include cable is used to connect to the adapter.
Thanks Marc. 🙂
Great Idea. Is still a PCB available?
–Thomas
Yes, there are still a few left.
Just what I have been looking for! If you have any PCBs left I would love to get one.
Nice work!
– Dave
I can see the bottom of the stack, but there are a few left.
Hi Marc,
if there is a PCB left, I’m interested in one.
Best,
Detlef
Hi Detlef,
Yes, there are still some left. I will send you an email with details.
I would like a board also. Thanks in advance.
No problem!
I have 2 left.
Hi Marc,
I also would be interested in procuring an adapter PCB for my new Atmel-ICE, if I’m already too late. Thanks.
No problem!
Still 2 left.
Hi Marc,
If not late, I’m interested in adapter PCB.
Yes, no problem. I will send you an email with details.
Hi Marc,
Long time but still no mail from you…I’m still interesed 🙂
Hi Anatom,
Then I believe there is some spamfilter from keeping me to email you.
I have mailed you on 2016-08-04. I will try again.
good work.
you give the pcb file?
thank you
Hi Peter, thanks. But no. Sorry.
Hi marc,
Great work, But why don’t you publish the files so all will enjoy from your work…
Hi RedAlert,
I have attached the eagle files to the bottom of the post.
marc,
Thanks for your work and for sharing with all of us. Sharing is caring 🙂
Thanks, Man!! (for the Eagle files)
I had planned to do the files this weekend from the PNG’s you published. I’ll get ’em Gerbered and see if I can add it to my next Seeedstudio panel.
That damned 1.27mm cable’s soooo thin, I’m scared to move it – so much so that my project and ICE (and a fake ‘Saleae’ logic analyser) are all velcro’d to a scrap bit of stripboard, then everything held down with ‘duct’ tape…
Saved me €50 from buying another ICE for the next project!
Cheers!
Andy, Oulu, Finland.
Hi Andy, good to hear!
I have no idea what dodo thought using 1.27mm pin-pitch headers was a good idea on a device used to connect multiple times to different boards.
The second I received my ICE I designed this board and use it to program all my 2.54mm pin-pitch boards.
Yeah. Atmel needs seroius help 😉
BTW, are you familiar with the shenanigans with Windows-10, Atmel Studio and the AVR Dragon?
Seems that between the World-and-his-Dog, all the commentators on avrfreaks, and Atmel, I’m the only geezer to have
a Dragon, an Atmel-ICE, a 32-bit lappie, and a 64 bit machine? Gawd!
http://www.avrfreaks.net/comment/1665496#comment-1665496
Anyway, I’ll post the Gerber files when I’ve finished…my Cunning Plan is to make it single-sided. Impossible? Just reminds me of my Physics teacher, 45 years ago.
“Crofts!!” – he bellowed – “There is no such word in English as ‘Karnt!’ ”
-Andy
Hi Andy, I have upgraded my laptop to Windows 10, my desktop remains at Windows 7 for exactly the reason that stuff always stops working with a new Windows version. I also have a dragon, blown it, fixed it. Now I have my ICE I only use the dragon to parallel program Atmegas when I mess up the fuses. I am programming the AVR’s since the very first AT90S1200, but still brick some chips now and then.
Single sided should be possible. I chose the more easy way and used 2 sided and vias.
Do you have any of the boards left or can I get a copy of the gerber files?
Hi Hugh just use the eagle files to generate the gerber files. I added those a few days ago to this post.
Thank you very much! Nice work.
Hi Marc!
I would kill for one of your pcbs, got my “Atmel-ICE Basic” yesterday and thought the header cable was someones bad joke… so I started to search after solution, like trying to find 10-pol males with 1.27 pitch… when I realized I would never be able to drill so small and close together holes (though I have drills down to 0.2 mm).
I’ve downloaded your .sch an’ .pcb for Eagle free version, but it still a lot of work to get from a coated PCB to print out the PCB-layout to drilling and soldering .. well I guess I’m lazy 😀
No chance you have one more ..(PCB that is…)?
All the best!
/ Joaquim Piirainen, Sweden
Yes! I have some left.
Hi There,
Well. I was wondering if you still have one of your boards available. Otherwise mate, Would you mind to tell me what steps you followed to order your board? I am in Australia so as far as I have read you have given you boards for free..let me know if you want something in exchange.
Kind Regards,
Wilson
No problem. I still have some left.
Any boards left?
If not where did you get the headers for the 1.27 connectors and who did you use to make the pcb’s?
TIA
JoeT
Yes, I have some left.
Sounds good I’ll take it. How much would like for it?
I have send you an email with the details.
Received 10 of this PCB I ordered at SeeedStudio. The AVR6-2.54 header (classic 6 PIN ISP header) is working great. I’m able to programm Atmel AVR’s without issue. I also wanted to debug an atmega1284 which is having a JTAG built-in interface. I hopped (too optimistic ?) the AVR10-2.54 header would have provided the minimum 7 PINS required for the JTAG interface. No… I’ve tested it on the breadbord and also confirm looking at the schamtics : the AR10-2.54 is just a larger version of the AVR6-2.54 without extra signal available. I might re-use your work since all JTAG signals are available on the PCB in the ICE-AVR header. I might hack the SAM20-2.54 header to directly solder a 10 wire flat ribbon, it will do the trick Thanks for this work.
Yes, I noticed this also. I wanted to debug an atmega 2560 with it. But it has another pinout for its jtag connection. I soldered simple SAM JTAG to AVR JTAG converter board for that purpose.
Hi there, I had the same problem but wanted a pinout for JTAG, so I created a similar board, based on your idea. I also referenced your website. Have a look.
Hi Christian,
Nice board!
Marc.
Marc,
Do you want to sell a PCB to me ?
Greetings
Koen (Netherlands)
Sure, no problem.
I will contact you by email.
Marc.
Do you still have this PCB?
David (USA)
Yes, plenty!
I will contact you by email.
Marc.
Nice work!
You have solved an irritating aspect of the ATMEL-ICE, which I purchased ONLY because the AVR ISP Mk II was discontinued.
Please send me a board and I will make a contribution to your cause.
Benny Smith
Yes, I too noticed that the MKII was discontinued.
I will contact you by email.
Marc.
Hi, I would like several boards. Please send me details.
No problem. I have send you an email.
Marc.
Perfect board !
This board is better than original triangle board from Atmel ????
If you still have extra board, I will buy it.
Hi Willi! Thanks.
I will contact you via email.
Hi, I would like by 2-3 boards . Could u write to me on email?
Hi Michal,
No problem, I will send you an email.
Marc.
Thanks for taking your time and share this with us all Marc! I am interested in a board, but I wonder if the Jtag issue was solved (atmega1284/2560)? I too have atmega2560s. If its not solved, how would a manual solution be? Please send me an email if you have time , and if you are willing to ship to japan?
Best Regards
Hi Stefan,
I have designed a new revision of the header board that includes a AVR JTAG connector. But I have not let them made into a PCB (and not tested them).
For my own atmega2560 (arduino mega) I have soldered a simple converter board which connects to the 20 pin ARM connector, that was the most practical.
I am willing to send you a pcb to Japan, I will send you an email.
Marc.
Really perfect board, much better than original one from Atmel.
If you still have some extra board and are willing to ship to Czech Republic, I would buy 2 or 3 boards.
Dobro
Sure! No problem. I will send you an email with details.
Hello Sir,
Do you still have an extra board that you don’t need?
I would like to buy it. I have the same problem
Many thanks in advance.

Vaibhav Singh Malik
Yes no problem. I will send you an email.
Hello,
I’d like to by one pcb so do you have some pcb levt over and send them to germany ?
Best Regards
Yes no problem. I will send you an email.

Hi Igor, I will send you an email.
Hello, I would like to buy the board too, can you send me an email, please?
Hi Joerg, check your inbox.
I would like to buy a pcb.
I am in the UK.
No problem David, I will send you the details my mail.
Hello from Hamburg,
is there one board left for me?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Andree
Unfortunately no, I do not have any (version 1) boards left. But, I do have version 2 boards available. Is that OK?
The difference is that version 2 has only 2.54mm headers (except for the 1.27mm) and it has an 2.54mm JTAG AVR connector for the atmega2560 (or atmega128 etc…).
AVR ISP(6+10) plus AVR JTAG is all I need.
OK then!
A.
Hi Andree,
I have contacted you by email for the details.
Marc.
Sorry marc, no email so far ….
A.
Yes, I scanned the Spam folder …. 🙂
Hi Andree, I tried again. Did you got the email?
Hey Marc,
Do you still have boards left? I’m interested in buying one.
I’m from the Netherlands.
Greetings, Mike
Sure Mike, no problem! Will send you an email.
Hi Marc,
just found your page, very nice board!
If you still have some boards left, I’m also interested in buying one board.
Thanks,

Thanks!
Mail with details is on its way to you.
Marc.
Hello,
can you send me some Details?
I want do order 1 Version 2 board 🙂
Kind regards
Freddy
Yes, email send.
Marc.
Hi Marc,
if you have one more board, I’m interested in one. No leftover of version 1? I’ts a pity because it seems to be more universal.
Hi Hans,
With version 2 you can program AVR JTAG which version 1 cannot. Version 1 only has the 2.0mm headers.
Marc.
Hi Marc, do you share the files for the V2 version?
Terje
Yes, I will share them. Give me some time to prepare the files.
Dear Marc
Hello from the United kingdom !
I have just found your site and your Version 2 Atmel ICE Header adapter – Great Idea !!
Do you have any bare pcbs left ? – (I would like Two bare pcbs if you have any left).
I am intending connecting this to the XMEGA-A3BU Xplained Evaluation board, However, I originally purchased the ICE Basic kit which only has the 6 pin header.
Where are you based? I could not find any info on your site.
Thanks in advance for your time Marc, I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Bob Rumford
UK
Thanks Bob!
I do believe I have some left. Let me check and I will send you an email.
I am based in The Netherlands, near The Hague and Rotterdam.
Kind regards!
You got to sell your ideas to ATMEL 😛
(Or now; Microchip….)
If you have some PCB’s left, I’d be interested in 2 or 3.
I’m located in The Netherlands as well.
Hope to hear from you 🙂
Regards,
Sander
Hi Sander,
Yes, I believe I have some left. But I am in the middle of a move to a new house. Give me some time and I will check and send you an email.
Hello Marc from Adelaide South Australia,
Nice work with the adapter. Do you have any of the boards left? I am interested in obtaining one if possible.
Hi Keven!
I will send you an email with the details.
Thanks!
Hi Marc,
This is just what I was looking for! I have converted the project files to KiCad, and will get some boards made.
If you like, I can put the KiCad version on github, with your permission of course.
Regards
Yes, I like it!
Thanks, I have pushed to https://github.com/bobc/Atmel-ICE-Header-Adapter
Nice! Thanks!
Hello Marc,
do you still have one board left?
Hi Frans,
Yes, I will send you email with details.
Hi Atoomnet,
I am interested in the atatmel ice pcba, and therefore is also very interested in your clever pcb.
Is it still possible to get the pcb?
I have seen some converter pcb’s on Ebay but they have an normal 3/10 ” wide row pitch as DIP ic’s have, so they require som measure of violence to a 1/10″ Box header. I might be possible with an angled version, but you pcb is smarter.
So can you sell me one or two such pcb’s?
Yours Niels Stobbe
Denmark
Hi Niels,
Yes, I have some left. I have send you an email with details.
Beware that the pcba version lacks the cable you need with the converter pcb.
Hi
should there be any board left, then I’m interested.
Hi Zacharias, Yes, you are lucky. Still some left.
Hello! I am interested in this board! Do you have any more? Is it possible to send to Ukraine?
Hi
I’m interested can i buy one?
thanks

Thanks Steffen. I have send you an email.
Hello, I want to know if it is possible that you can share with me the Eagle files of your Atmel ICE header adapter Version II. Also please, inform me where I can obtain a copy of the eagle library “Arduino_Wifi_shield_v018_tG”. Thank you very much.
Hi Edgar,
Here you go: v2 pcb eagle files
I searched for Arduino_Wifi_shield_v018_tG, I believe that it came from the arduino due reference design. To recreate the library you can export the tiny 6-pin header. There is an export function for that in Eagle.
Marc: thank you very much for your collaboration … greetings from Colombia
Hi Marc,
I was wondering if you have any boards left, I just bought an Atmel-ICE because my Dragon isn’t responding normally anymore.
I hope I can poke the dragon back to life, but it stopped working just when I got a hard deadline for a project 🙁
I hope you ship all the way to Rotterdam 😉
Hi Martijn! Dead dragon. Not good. I had mine blownup once, apparently you should be very careful connecting a ground connection to a floating ground. I changed some minuscule component to fix that.
Check your email.
Hi Marc,
I was wondering if you have any boards left, I just bought an Atmel-ICE and love the board you made. I am in fear of losing the cables that came with the ICE. Would be nice to be able to make up a cable anytime with your board. 🙂
Thanks
Pat
Hi Pat, it is still unbelievable that Atmel designed it with such tiny cables.
Check your mail. I have still some boards left.
Hello Marc,
Do you still have some boards?
I would like to buy one.
I’m from Slovakia.
Could you ship here?
Slovakia no problem. Check your email.
Hi there,
This board is great! I dont suppose you have any spare?
I would love to buy one
Cheers mate
Board is great indeed, thanks! Check your email.
Hi Marc.
I would like to share with you several photos of my adapter cards, the cards was inspired by your design,
but I have added a + 5V regulator, an SMD LED. I built two individual cards; one for the AVR connector and onother one for the SAM connector.
If you are interested in seeing the photos, please send me your email address.
Hey Marc,
just found your header adapter here.
I’m very interested in one of the boards.
Can you send me the details?
Kind regards
Thanks Nik! You should have received an email with details just now.
Hey Marc,
Great project.
Are there any pcb’s left?
Thank you in advance
Thanks Marius, yes there are. Check your email.
Hello Marc,
i also found just your side. And i also ask for a adapter board.
Can you send me also infos how to get one.
Thanks Ralf
Hi Ralf, info send.
Hi Marc,
A very useful project 🙂
By any chance are there any PCBs left ??
If so, I would love one having just got an Atmel-ICE “bareboard” 🙂
I’m in the UK BTW.
Best Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave! UK no problem. Check your email.
Be aware that you need the little squid cable that comes with the basic version. I believe the bare version is missing all cables?
Perfect solution….. I would be interested in purchasing two , if you have any still available.
Andrew from Adelaide, Australia.
Hi Andrew! Sure, no problem! Check your email.
Hi,
just out of curiosity:
Do you still have a V2 board, which you would like to sell?
Marc from Germany 🙂
Hi Marc! I would like to sell you a board. Check your email.
Hi Marc,
I also was trapped in the same way – thinking its 2,54mm pitch for the connectors.
For the flat cable I verified that a part of a harddiskcable should be OK – the version with a ground wire between each signal wires.
Then I found this thread and believe I really need one of Your adapter boards.
The connectors I have in stock, the 1.27mm are ordered.
Do You have one more left?
Hi Matth, yes, I still have some left.
Hi Marc,
An awesome solution for a tricky problem
Any chance there are any PCBs left ??
I’m located in Melbourne, Australia

Alexi
Hi Alexi!
Thanks! And, yes. Check your email.
Hi. marc.
Can you send one to Dk 🙂
when you write “10 Pin for AVR MEGA” is it then the way to use A0 – A7 headers? I wish you had that board as well 🙂
Hi Kasper, Yes I can send to DK. Check your email.
Can you elaborate what you mean about A0-A7? The 10 pin on this board is the older 10-pin ISP standard.
Hi
Nice project, thank you for sharing.
If you still have a bare bord left I would prefer to buy one from you instead of ordering ten. 🙂
Hi Michael, thank you! I have send you an email with the details.
Hi
Unfortunately something went qwrong, I did not receive an email from you.
Cheers
Rubi
Yep. It seems. I just send a retry. Did you get it?
no unfortunately not
please try this one 🙂
Cheers
Rubi 🙂
Done.
Hi am Stewart from Mauritius please it possible to sell one with me? Thank very much
Hi Stewart! Sure, no problem! Check your email.
Hey Stewart, did you get my email? I noticed you use @hotmail, sometimes hotmail will flag most e-email as spam, or delete the email altogether.
Hi
I am Jörg from Germany – do you have any (3 or 4?) which you possibly could send me?
Hi Jörg, I counted 14 left. Will send you email with details.
Hi from Singapore. I’m interested in getting 2/3 pcbs.if still available.thank you.
Hi Kyaw!
Yes, 10 left. Will send you email with details.
Hi Marc,
If you could set aside a PCB for me that would be fantastic.
I’ll buy you a beer if I ever get a chance 🙂
Hi! Thanks for the beer 🙂
I reserved a pcb for you. Details in your e-mail.
Hi, I’m interested in one or two of the adapters (fully configured) as well. Including shipment to Germany please!
Thank you!
Details have been send by e-mail.
Please use the ail I used for the signature in _this_ reply as alternative! Thanks!
Just resend the email using this emailadress.
Looks like it worked.

Can I also use it with a JTAGICE3? (It only as AVR JTAG pin layout, not like the Atmel-Ice 1x AVR JTAG and 1x ARM JTAG layout)?
Hi Markus, I am not sure that will work. You could use the schematic of my board and determine if the pins are compatible.
The JTAGICE3 Pin layout is the same as for your Atmel ICE pin layout on the AVR (right) port. This is what confuses me a little bit, because you have your adapter board connected to the AVR board on your title picture as well but then also discuss the possibility to connect to SAM devices and you also say
“Someone at Atmel had a bright moment. On the SAM connector every pin used can be found on the AVR connector. This means the header board only needs to use one or two programming ports to connect to.”.
So, using your board you can use the AVR port on the AtmelICE but nevertheless connect to an ARM via JTAG/SWD?
The user manual states:
“The ARM SWD interface is s subset of the JTAG interface, making use of TCK and TMS pins, which
means that when connecting to an SWD device, the 10-pin JTAG connector can technically be used. The
ARM JTAG and AVR JTAG connectors are however not pin-compatible, so this depends upon the layout
of the target board in use. When using STK600 or a board making use of the AVR JTAG pinout, the
standard JTAG connector can be used. When connecting to a board which makes use of the ARM JTAG
pinout, the 10-pin “mini-squid” cable must be used. (There are no adapters available from Atmel to make
this mapping.)” (ref http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/Atmel-42634-JTAGICE3_UserGuide.pdf Section 3.6)
So my scenario would be mainly: I would like to connect with my JTAGICE3 (i.e. == Atmel ICE AVR Port) to a ARM JTAG or SWD port. (Atmel/Microchip SAM3X8E or similar)
That would work only if all the pins on the JTAGICE3 share the same function as on the Atmel ICE. I have no idea if that is the case.
Yes, that works because the 2 ports on the Atmel ICE have most pins internally connected.
Hello Marc,
I just came across your site and very much like your adapter board.
Do you still have one to sell ? If so, how much would that cost, including shipping to Germany ?
Thank you very much in advance !
Many greetings and kind regards.
Hi Holger,
Yes, there are still some pcbs for sale. I send an e-mail with the details.
Hi Marc,
PCB received ! Thank you very much for the quick shipping !
I designed a little bottomplate to protect the pins on the soldering side from short-circuits, for those who don’t want to stick it to the case of the Atmel-ICE.
I would like to put this part on Thingiverse and make it available to the community, probably with a link to this page.
Any objections from your side ?
Thanks and many greetings,
Holger
Hi Holger,
Thank you for the kind words. Please, go ahead and post the part on Thingiverse. Feel free to post the link here.
Hi Marc,
sorry for the late reply. Somehow I forgot about it. The protective baseplate can now be found under:

Thanks again and kind regards.
Nice thing you made there 🙂
Hi,
I’m thinking buying the Atmel-ICE PCBA Kit. If you still have adapter boards to sell, do you have also the 1.27mm programming cable ?
What is the cost for the adapter board and/or the programming cable, including shipping to Greece ?
regards,
Hi Dimitrios!
The pcb was designed to be taped on top of an Atmel-ICE basic, but work with the PCBA also. You do have to source your own 1.27mm cable. I send you an e-mail with details.
Hi marc,
Did you still have any adapter boards you’d be willing to sell? I’m having to replace my AVRISP mkII with an ATATMEL-ICE-BASIC, and the header pitch difference caught me by surprise.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris, sure! These boards where made exactly for the reason you give.
Check your e-mail for more details.
