Anyone whos read this blog for any amount of time knows that I love microcontrollers and projects made with them. Well, heres a microcontroller project that creates more microcontrollers. Is this the beginning of a Terminator-esque future?

Im a sucker for cool electro-mechanical projects (if you have one youd like me to post about, use the Contact link) so when I saw this, I got excited. A guy in Hungary has created a “robot” which utilizes an old printer mechanism with a few standard radio-control servos to program microcontrollers in bulk.

The printer slide is used to provide the horizontal movement while a special mechanism moves a vacuum attachment vertically to grab the chips from the supply rail on the right. The blank microcontroller is dropped into a ZIF socket and a servo closes the latch. After the programming is complete, the arm removed the chip from the socket and transfers it to the output rail.

Ive spent a quite few years in the semiconductor manufacturing field, including several in the production areas and I can say that this guys project is actually remarkably similar to whats used by the professionals — just much slower. Ill bet that he could ramp the horizontal movement significantly but other than that, its a pretty sweet project!

Check the video out below. The first half shows the overall process and the second half shows each step in detail.

1. SoR annoucement: microcontroller productAs many of you have realized, I have not really been happy with any of the microcontrollers available on the market. They are all missing something . . .So I am developing a microcontroller for SoR to sell (called the Axon), with revenue going to further develop/grow the SoR website. Ive done a manufacturing run and it mostly works, but Im working out the final bugs and documentation. Ive been working hard on this for the last ~6 months, and it should be ready within a month or two from now for shipment.For those who have used the Arduino, it will basically be the Arduino x 3 (in features, support, and cost). Yet it will be smaller and lighter, too.A few teaser features:16 ADCbuilt in USB3 additional UART (for camera, wireless, hyperterminal, etc)no programmer requiredcontrol up to 40 servos (building a hexapod/biped, anyone?)has a power busdesigned for the intermediate/expert builder, simple enough for a beginner  -actually, much much easier than the $50 Robot2.5"x2.5"x.7" profilefull support, easy to use software/codeRoHS compliant (environmentally friendly, no lead, etc)Price will be between $100 and $150. Send me an IM if you want to reserve one (no money down) so I can better judge how many to initially make. Those who reserve for the first produced limited batch will get ~20% off....
