I've
had a lot of requests for a circuit diagram for a programmer, so you can
download the diagram for the P16PRO40
programmer here, this works nicely with my software, and is one of the
programmers I use. You can order it as a kit from
Dontronics.
There are also details of a programmer specifically designed for in-circuit programming by Gary Aylward on his website.
This
is my old DOS programmer software for the 16C84 series only, this is
designed for use with David Tait type serial programmers, and includes many
useful features, amongst which is an inbuilt dis-assembler. I no longer
support the DOS version, but I leave it available as it can still be useful.
A lot of testing and advice for this program were carried out by Don
McKenzie, many thanks to him, and I would recommend his programmer PCB's,
they are very high quality and well worth buying.
Updated
March 1999 DOS version 2.02, now includes PIC16F84.
The
DOS software versions are written in Turbo Pascal 7.0, unfortunately with
the advent of very fast Pentium II processors a 'bug' in TP7 has come to
light. Any programs using the CRT Unit will crash with an 'Error 200', if
the machine is too fast. There is a patch available to cure this problem, if
you are experiencing it running this patch program should cure your problem
tp-patch.zip.
This
is the 16 bit Windows version of my PIC programmer software for use under
Windows 3.x or Windows 95, it's written using Borland Delphi version 1.00
and, like all my programmer versions, has the built-in dis-assembler. This
version also programs the 'F' series devices as well. Like the DOS version,
I no longer offer support on the 16 bit version, but I've made the source
code available.
This
was last updated in Oct 1998, it had a few small bug-fixes, and now includes
a Windows Help File, just extract the two files into a directory and run
PICPROG2.EXE, there are no DLL files or similar to worry about.
March 1999
16 Bit Windows version V1.21.
Now
available, full source code for my 16 bit PIC programmer software, requires
Delphi 1.0 to compile, this has been given away on many magazine cover
disks, and is also included on the CD-ROM of all the later versions of
Delphi.. The 42KB ZIP file can be downloaded from
Dontronics.
I
retain copyright to all programs, but they may be freely downloaded and
distributed, as long as no charge is made. This means they may NOT be
distributed via BBS's using premium rate (RIP-OFF!) phone numbers.
