| Version 2 of the standalone programmer |
Wonder what's inside it ? Besides a 4x20 LCD, Arduino Nano and a 4x4 keypad there is also a 3.7 volt 1200 m.a.h rechargeable battery with a Adafruit charger/ booster inside the case.

Programmer in action:
Besides working on the hardware i also completed the Arduino Sketch making the programmer fully functional and able to program the PRM-4515.
An introduction and programming a cougar using the programmer can be seen in this video:
