We figure must have some pretty fresh breath. The only trouble he had with it was more or less easily solved by replacing two transistors. To save space on the board, he soldered wires to RESET, VCC, GND, PGD, and PGC to program the firmware and then removed the wires. ![]() He didn’t have a 20MHz crystal, so he used a 12MHz crystal and tweaked the fuse bits after burning the firmware. had to make a few improvisations for this project. He wound his own inductor using the ferrite core from a CFL. ![]() prefers plastic, and he tipped us off about a PICKit2 clone that he designed to fit inside of a tic tac box.Īlmost all of the components were salvaged except for the microcontroller and the connectors. But you have to defend against shorts, and cutting out holes for ports and buttons is dangerous business. ![]()
