I am a frustrated hobbyist who needs to get a small application built - for my own sanity. The objective is to produce a GTK application that simulates a utility made by Microchip to program a USB converter called the MCP2200. The final result will do all the Microchip utility can do on both Windows or Linux. The final result will be an exe file and a deb file. The application will record the various parameters of the MCP2200 before any changes have been effected into an XML file. This includes not only all the parameters that can be changed but also any other identifying parameters seen by the OS. The changes that are made to the MCP2200 will also be recorded into an XML file. The application will be run from the desktop or menu icon that is created for the task. It will be simple to run and close. Milestones will need to be discussed and will be linked to actual tested events. All code and communications with me are confidential and will need to be erased at job completion. Please bid higher or lower than what I have suggested as I have no idea what this should cost.

Looks like you're trying to make your own version of the MCP2200 configuration utility, which I have just looked at in the MCP2200 datasheet. So your user interface would have fields like Vendor ID, Product ID, Baud Rate, IO Config, Output Default, various pin and LED toggles, and strings for manufacturer and product description. It seems to me that most of the work lies in writing the code to communicate with the device over the HID interface. It looks like Microchip has a .NET API built for this purpose, so we could try to get that running on Linux using Mono. That would definitely save time if it works. I've created a programmer before for Atmel ATtiny841 microcontrollers, so I have practical experience with this kind of project. If my bid seems a little higher than the others, it's because I've actually spent a little time researching the chip and considering the steps involved. It's just a first estimate, but I wanted to give you something realistic.

Sounds like an interesting project to do. Haven't worked with C for a while and would love to get a chance to go back to it. I have worked with C for about 5 years professionally at Cisco, Samsung (where I also worked on the linux kernel) and IBM. I have bid higher than your suggestion (as per your suggestion :) ). I am also a bit unsure about this so we can do a hourly rate if you so wish. Look forward to hearing from you!
