Add a PID code for the Chibitronics Love-to-Code sticker, which has an Arduino-compatible API and supports uploading a USB stack over audio. Signed-off-by: Sean Cross <sean@xobs.io>

Thanks for your pull request! If you'd like a PID for your open source hardware project, you need to include source files for the PCB designs and other relevant hardware under an open-source license. Also, it's not clear from your description - does the sticker have a USB connector? If not, what's the purpose of uploading a USB stack? |

I've just had @bunnie upload the Altium source files to the same link. It should be under the same license that's referred to in the index.md file, which is CERN OHL 1.2 (or later). The sticker has a Micro USB connector. Pin 5 (OTG_MODE) is repurposed as an audio pin, which is how programming is accomplished. Power pins are the same. The D+/D- pins are connected through to some CPU data pins, which can function as e.g. a USB HID device. |

Great, thanks! Neat project, and I love your work. I should have made sending me a device a condition of getting a PID. ;) |
This adds a new company -- Chibitronics -- and a new product -- Love-to-Code. It's a sticker that's designed to be programmed via audio, to allow for everyone to learn how to code.
@bunnie gave a talk on the project at 33c3: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-7975-making_technology_inclusive_through_papercraft_and_sound
The sticker supports uploading a USB stack via audio, and thus requires a PID.
