Programmed first chip

I managed to hook up a chip to the breadboard and program it from my computer. In other words, I have a standalone chip that if provided power will run the servo program. I know that this had been done for years but it is cool when you do it for the first time.

What this means is that I can now take this chip, attach it to a circuit board, provide some power and I have my servo controller. Too damn cool...

Here is a video of it in action. The blinking LED is the heartbeat and the green light indicates normal operation. The other (unlit) red LED is to show test mode.
