AVRISP mkII - USB powered target

I was using an Altoids 9V-to-5V tin can regulator to power a target AVR under AVRISP mkII, but I thought it would be nice if I could simply use the 5V from the USB.

I found some examples using Google. Here's what mine ended up like...


Underneath the heatshrink in the middle is a 0.5A resettable fuse and a diode for protection.



The slide switch is from SeeedStudio. The handle is too short unfortunately, but some sanding on the inside of the case made it poke out a little.

    HI,

    This looks like a great idea. Which pin on the ribbon side is the wire connected to?

    Thanks
