Well, something seems to work: we have lights and buttons! There are still some missing bits, so the build is not finished yet. Hopefully the rest of the parts turn up soon. Lunchbeat / PICkit 2 series Lunchbeat / PICkit 2 - PCB Arrival (Part 1) Lunchbeat / PICkit 2... Continue reading

Lunchbeat / PICkit 2 - Update (Part 3)

Nix McRetro // 13th August 2015 // Programming, YouTube

We’re getting closer! Some components have now been installed, but I’m still waiting for more parts to arrive. Here’s hoping they do! The bonus challenge is still to program the Atmel chip with the PICkit 2 and AVRDUDE… just for kicks… in OS X! Lunchbeat / PICkit 2 series Lunchbeat... Continue reading

Lunchbeat / PICkit 2 - Programming the PIC18F2550 (Part 2)

Nix McRetro // 5th July 2015 // Programming, YouTube

This time I’m programming the PIC18F2550 that forms the heart of the PICkit 2 programmer. That is separate from the AVR microcontroller in the Lunchbeat itself. The bonus challenge is still to program the Atmel chip with the PICkit 2 and AVRDUDE… just for kicks… in OS X! Sources Microchip... Continue reading
