Erich, I don't mind the 40 euro for the programmer, but I really don't have the time to order, wait for delivery, and get into the programming business. Perhaps after this project is over that will look attractive to me. I do like your suggestion to ask about someone in my locality. I'm in the

I would say that your idea is feasible with the existing toolchain, if your business model is adjusted a little bit: 1) You must sell the user TWO programmed chips, with instructions making it very clear a chip can be bricked by a bug. 2) Along with the two chips, the instructions "when you brick
