-I was tired of having bare PCB boards ​and wires all over the place, ​so I decided to order a USB programmer in a brightly colored metal case. The device I ordered was described as **"​Aluminum shell USB ISP USBISP USBASP ASP Programmer for 51 ATMEL AVR WIN7 64 (Random color)"​** shown below. ​+Although I do not usually program chips, because I prefer to use complete modules, mainly for utilizing their USB port as a user interface, I happened to work on a few projects with a bare ATtiny85, which requires a programmer. I managed with a custom programmer, built on an Arduino Nano loaded with ''​the ArduinoISP''​ sketch. But as you all know, you never program once. Actually, I estimate that for program beutifications,​ minor adjustments etc. I program at least 5 times, and this, after the program is fully debugged!!! That is a lot of work, even for a single project.
