I have been making some progress on the official guide to hardware setup for dumping/flashing with pictures and descriptions. I am going to methodically create a program that will flash and dump with explicit documentation so I can return to this project intermitently and not start from Step 1 every time. So far, I have a README that conceptually explains how to set up the proper circuit. I've gotten to the physical circuit anhad hi roadblock -- my soldering skill is grossly lacking. I fried one of my boards trying to solder the parts onto it. The copper tracings started to peel because the heat of my iron was too high. It was a mess one night and, discouraged, I cleaned and packed it all up. I considered just designing a custom PCB to be printed and assembled elsewhere and then shipped to me. However, I feel that this setback would be wasted if I do not regroup and attempt my own soldering again. I still have the components I need, I just need some practice. After a few tutorials and videos, I think I am prepared for a re-attempt.
