What is it?

Have you ever made a cool arduino project and wanted to make it permanent but didn't want to sacrifice your arduino board. Or maybe you wanted to shrink your project and use only few pins.

Now you can burn bootloaders and program atmega and attiny chips, without a need for breadboard or fancy isp programmers, no more looking at the datasheets trying to figure out how to program them. I present to you an "arduino as isp shield". It comes with the support for the most popular arduino chips like atmega 328, atmega1284 , attiny 84,85,4323 and bunch of other pin compatible chips. And the best part is that it's the only isp shield that works with arduino uno, leonardo, mega, freeduino, freakduino .... You get the point.

It's comes as fun solder yourself package, including step by step instructions. And it's very easy to use: just upload the arduino as isp sketch (depending on what board you want to use) then place the desired chip on the shield and then click upload the sketch and your are finished. Now you can make your own arduino clones. Or shirk your project using various attiny chips, or maybe even unleash the power of atmega1284. Giving you almost as many pins as an arduino mega.
