Nice one mrburnette. Been using AVR-DUDE for years and didn't know that one. Might program an EEPROM editor in C# and use that for uploading to the chip.
Yes, it would be a nice tool for newbies and those who do not like to drop to the command prompt to have a GUI that did the work and just manipulated AVRdude in the background! I think the effort would be most useful.
What I think is happening is that Arduino has been around long enough that many of us early old dudes are off in other playgrounds and many of the common shell commands are being forgotten and the ArduinoIDE is evolving to support so many boards. I have tried over time to capture a few basic concepts in my little corner of the web but there is so much more that could be done. Fortunately, Nick has his pages and many of the older members have decent pages, too. So, as long as we can keep all those pages on the web, I think the bulk of the knowledge is preserved.
