Anyone made their own avr dev board?

[Detector]

In the meantime while i wait until my order gets delivered from mt, i just wanted to know if anyone had built their own avr board with the pic 12f chip and if it was worth having a go at diy.

i used to do something similar a few years ago and would like to try it even if i get my proper one delivered.

and apart from its obvious use, can you still use them for other projects or is that just the proper avr boards.

yep

can you do any other projects with a pic board or is it just avr type ones/teensy

is there a wiring guide for one of these?

I thought the PIC18 was a suqare package, not a DIL package....no wonder I couldnt find an adaptor for my Willems programmer....it obviously doesnt need one ! doh.

the 18f you can flash a bootloader and then flash it over the usb port if you need to change/update the .hex file, so you don't have to put it back into the programmer. My pic dongle above is flashed without the bootloader cos i just wanted to see if i can do it....lol
it works fine so i'm happy with it.

you need to use the ICSP header for the Willem and wire like so:

ICSP - PIC
Vpp - 1
Vcc - 20
GND - 8,19
PGD - 28
PGC - 27

also use WinPic, cos the Willem app didn't work for me.

i was thinking of just programing the pic ,soldering a xtal to the pins then soldering it to usb pins inside the ps3.
whats the pic code like ,i read that its not perfect yet ?
i have proper microchip picstart programer so programing the chip wont be a problem.
