Pinguino as a self replicating device !!

Self Replicating Pinguino on a breadboard

Hi Guys,

Self Replication
Self-replication is any process by which a thing will make a copy of itself

Now this is a property of Pinguino. This code allows you to copy the bootloader of your Pinguino in a new blank ( or not ) chip.
I tried it with a 18F2550, i don't know if it works with a 18F4550 but it should works.

What do you need ?
- 3 transistors
- 2 LED
- some resistors
- an external 12Vcc power supply. ( 12Vcc from the computer is OK )

I think i will update this code later to use Pinguino as a real PIC18 programmer.

How many Pinguino child will you build ?

Graphic LCD on Pinguino

Marcus, the king of display, made this' arduino compatible' library for Pinguino.

Pinguino XBEE

Walter from Pinguino Madrid built this Pinguino XBEE.
Maybe this is the starting point of our next zigbee module for Pinguino.



Great job walter...

Pinguino Beta 9

Hi Guys,

Pinguino beta 9 is available in the download area.
Many thanks to all the contributors of this new release.

This is a major version with a lot of improvement.
I will write some document to explain how to develop users libraries
( it's easy with beta 9 ) and maybe changes from the last version.

Have fun with this new version.

See all his work on Pinguino and electronic on his blog.

Thanks Jesus.
