• Compact solution for programming Orangutan, Orangutan LV-168, and Baby Orangutan robot controllers through a USB port.
• Also program 3pi robot.
• Emulates an AVR ISP programmer so that one can program  Orangutans controller and 3pi robot .
• Terminal program communication with Orangutan, 3pi, or any other microcontroller  (USB "A to Mini-B" cable is required similar to cable for digital cameras and other USB peripherals

How to Use Orangutan USB Programmer

• Install driver driver.  Make sure you install the driver before you connect your programmer to the computer.
• Ignore Microsoft’s repeated warnings that the driver has not been tested by Microsoft.
• Turn on the Orangutan USB programmer to be programmed. Careful about the pin  1 orientation with the Baby Orangutan, which does not have a shrouded ISP connector.
• The red wire and mark on the ISP connector should be lined up with the arrow to pin 1 on the Baby Orangutan PCB.
• Access the functionality of USB-to-serial adapter through the pads on the side of the PCB labeled TX, RX and G (for ground). The TX line (from the computer’s perspective—connect it to your target device’s RX line) is always connected, but the RX line needs to be switched using the shorting block in the middle of the board. Connecting it on the “P” side allows for programmer operation; the “U” side allows user USB adapter operation.

The programmer should be program all AVRs supporting paged program and EEPROM memory, but Pololu only support Orangutan and 3pi programming.
