It automatically programs a bunch of uControllers based on a firmware "playlist" created on PC
Cost to build:
$80
Time to build:
30 hours

Well, recently, I needed to have a bunch of AVRs programmed... A big bunch... And as I am really bored on repeated procedures I decided to make a robot to do this for me. You can see the outcome on the video.
I used an Arduino Duemilanove as the programmer (ArduinoISP) and a GRoboduino as the controller. I also wrote a C# program on PC to control the firmware "playlist".

hackaday
I hope I am not breaking any rules on my first post.
I saw this and immediately thought of hackaday. I sent the link to this page to their tipline and they posted it yesterday.

What a great build !
I’ll bet that it took longer to build this equipment then it would have taken to program the AVR’s manually, -but this is way cooler.

You are right!
Well, you are absolutely right, but I enjoyed it and in the next bunch of uControllers I will get even. I will win back the lost time!
