        The program is transferred to the PIC over the serial port (either the
hardware USART or bit banged) and the PIC writes it's own program memory,
effectively programming itself. The only hardware needed is a cable
connecting the PC to the PIC, most projects already have a serial port
connection (either for debug or as part of the design) so for many projects
there is nothing additional needed. TTYL
