This post is an overview of a test app that uses the Bus Pirate’s binary rawwire mode to program another Bus Pirate. This could be a handy way to unbrick one Bus Pirate with another. Eventually, we’d like it to program all PICs that don’t require a 13volt programming voltage (18FJ/FK, 24F, 30F, and 33F).
We’re having some problems getting it working though, and we put up one of Ril3y’s laser-cut Bus Pirate cases as a bounty for help solving the problem.
