Duinotech Uno Programmer
Summary
Recently, we had to program a big pile of Uno's for some workshops we were running, getting kids to build the Snake Game Project. We didn't want to worry the kids with the programming side of it, so we needed a pile of preprogrammed Uno's for them to build with. The idea of using an Uno to program an Uno sounds a bit meta, but with a USB Host Shield, we managed to program our Uno's. In fact, the programming only takes about three seconds per board, which is even faster than we could unpack them. Some soldering required.
