Model:
FD-SPP
PIC
Programmer
is an
essential
tool if
you wish
to learn
or build
projects
with
Microchip
PIC Micro
Processors.
This
programmer
is for
those who
do not
have a
Parallel
Port on
their PC.
Programmer
may be
used with
Free Windows
Software
such as "PIC
PROGRAMMER
Professional
Serial"
from
Oshosoft
and may
work well
with other
serial
programming
software.
Programmer
PCB is
double
sided PTH
board
measuring
6cm X 8cm. Since my
idea was
to make
this
programmer
small in
size with
ICP
capability
with ICP
header
having
PICKIT2
compatible
pin
connections,
I have
used a separate
Programming
Board
containing
IC sockets
for 20
(Includes
8,14 &
20 pin
PICs),
18, 28 & 40 pin
PICs.
Firmware
in PIC
16F628A controls
TXD, RXD,
Vdd &
Vpp lines
to program
the Target
Chip.
A
true RS232
interface
IC is used
to connect
programmer
to PC's
com port.
To
use this
Programmer,
you
will require a
14-20V DC
or AC
Power
adaptor, A
Programming
Adaptor Board
and a
serial
cable.
Programming
Adaptor
Board is
included
with this
programmer.
If
you wish
to build
this
programmer
using your own
parts, you
may buy a PCB for
this
project.
PCB with Pre-programmed
firmware
in PIC
16F628A is
also
available
for those
who do not
have a
programmer.
If
wish to
build this
programmer
using
PIC16F628A,
627,
627A or
628, you
may
request
for a
suitable
firmware
with 8,
10, 12, 16
or 20MHZ
crystal
frequency.
Free
firmware
for PIC16F628 & 628A
is already
supplied
here for
crystal
frequencies
of 8, 10,
12, 16
&
20MHZ.
Free
Serial
Port Prof
Programming
Software
is
suitable
for
programming,
both
PIC16F
&
PIC18F
chips,
using this
programmer.
