The Final Countdown

The final one is to catch up to date. If you have gone through college you might be familiar with 14+ hour nights working on a project that you have to deliver the same day. Well, that's what I did yesterday.

As I tried different solutions to creating a PIC Programmer with Arduino on a simulated environment I tried everything: EVERYTHING. From using serial communication to seeing If I could insert hex files to TinkerCAD, It seemed like I was doomed with this task.

In the end, with just a couple of hours, I decided to take a lawyer's approach by reading the small letters. The assignment said that the Arduino had to record the program inside the PIC's Memory, but It didn't specify how.

Then, I had to get creative and use an SD-Card Simulator model, where I would put a Hex file to symbolize that the PIC memory had been recorded with the file. Then, I set out to explain the connections of the previous circuit and explain why I used an SD Card to represent the PIC's program memory.

I know It didn't solve the problem, But in situations like these, I had to seek other alternatives. On the bright side, since the task's delivered, now I can focus on creating a working ICSP PIC programmer.

That being said:

Thank you for your support and good luck!
