Alternative WP34S flashing using Arduino

[anetzer]

Hi,

Just wanted to thank you for the very readable and practical instructions. I got my hands on an Arduino and managed to flash a handful of 20B's in practically no time.

I was a bit irritated by the critical tone of some of the messages in this thread.

Obviously the platform uses a documented and standardized interface but a horrible connector. As no HP cables are available anymore, any practical method should be made available to the public.

And it is always very helpful when someone invests the time to document a method so transparently and thoroughly that even laymen can implement it successfully (I have also now used the instructions for installing the quartz and the IR LED and have succeeded in installing these hardware modifications).

So once again thank you for the very instructive document. And thanks go to the WP 34S team for collecting such documents on sourceforge.

Already looking forward to the finalized documentation of jebems USB to Serial cable...
