Yo dawg I heard you like PIC burning so I put a PIC in your PIC burner so you can burn PIC while you burn PIC.

Description
The goal of this workshop is to build and burn the usbpicprog PIC burner, using nothing but resources available at the /tmp/lab (excepted the electronic components, of course). As you can see, this burner uses a PIC, meaning we need a PIC burner to build the device. Depending on the available resources, we'll use a pre existing PIC burner or we'll build a JDM burner to burn the first PIC, then we'll burn the remaining PICs with this freshly burnt PIC, effectively bootstrapping the process.
Why not buying a burner instead ?
- because you can Do It Yourself
- because you can reprogram the burner
- because a workshop involves people meeting, and people meeting involves BEER !!
Roadmap
- Gathering PCB making gear
- Locking registration
- Bulk order for the hardware
- Scheduling a date for the workshop
- Workshop
- ???
- Profit !
