August 25, 2012 by Pew446	I was hoping I could buy something cheap like these: 1 2 3 to program my ATMEGA168 chip with the nerdkits bootloader. These would work right?

If I were to buy a USBASP programmer, I'd get one with the jumpers for more versatility. There is a link in my tutorial for a seller of a programmer kit, If you buy from him though, make sure to request the USBASP firmware as there are issues with the other firmware he has. Rick
