Self Replicating Pinguino on a breadboardSelf 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 ?

Wow! This is great, it ensure the easy spreading of Pinguino. Like a disease (kidding)!
Great job Jean-Pierre, thank you!
Vasi
can you try use a 9V battery asv vpp?, i dont have other pic18f2550 around but i'll get one just to test :)
@Vasile
you are welcome
@Cristian
Datasheet say that VPP Min value is Vcc+4V, so a 9V battery should works.
Maybe you could test with a 18F4550 if you have one.
Wow, a RepProg!
Now the same with an ATmega, please, to include it in the RepRap project!
you could make the whole scheme with some pcb design program or something? as multisim proteus or something to see the whole scheme?
I'd appreciate it much, except that a photo that is sensitive to the cables and connections that you've uploaded the do not know where some wires are connected and would be nice to have a picture of the connections already made to avoid errors and facilitate things we do not have much knowledge.
thanks
to compile it gives me these errors:

lack of definition of the PGM pin is the error, if I define the variable no errors but that pin is not that I set to work
# define PGC 1 / / connected to the pin of the blank PGC chip
# define PGD 2 / / connected to the PGD pin of the chip blank
# define VPP 3 / / connected to the VPP pin of the chip blank
# define redled 5 / / red LED on pin 5
# define DC 6 / / connected to the power transistor on
# define PGM 7 / / ¿?¿?¿?¿? pin??
@nenexulo22
Sorry, PGM is no longer used. I updated the pde file. Now it should be OK. We keep in touch.
Jean-Pierre
thanks i trying new
sorry for my bad english

jean pierre reviews the file. pde think you have not uploaded to the web as it still gives me the same errors.
Verify that you have uploaded to the web the right file please.
a serious question over the operation and then connect it all up the sketch to the Penguin? or upload the sketch to the Penguin connecting everything and reset it with the reset by unplugging the plate well to restart?
RUN LED should light up no?
hello¿?¿?
Thank you for sharing this wonderful opportunity of learning. This site will automatically go to my bookmarks list!
no tendra un video tutorial del proceso de autoreplicacion gracias
