I am not able to find any breadboard headers for this particular usb asp connector
They do exist because I've seen then at school, but I can't seem to find them online. I bought breakable male male pins, but they are too short to fit in the board. I also bought a black header for it on ebay, but it is also too short for the breadboard, only good for soldering.
I have 2 different solutions that I've used for this:
Loose wires inserted into the IDC and breadboard
This works for any chip, but can be a pain to move between chips.
PCB-mounted adapter using extra-long headers
This must be done custom per chip but is extremely reliable, and allows additional embellishments such as a button to make powering the chip from the programmer optional.
I will include pictures of both solutions when I am able to.
This is what I do. Get some of these 11.5 mm male DIL headers (eBay):
Trim it down to:
Move the black plastic pin spacer to about half way if necessary, and insert:
...works a treat :)
You can get longer ones - just search eBay for "male pin header long double row".
So long story short, I was looking for electronics surplus stores in the area, and look what I found:
Found at Creatron Inc. It doesn't show on their product page, but I'm sure you can drop them a line and they'll help you.
