picmicro 18f2550
Hi Everyone,
There are many PICmicro programmer designs but 99% of them need a PC. Why don't we all join together and build a PICmicro ZIP socketed & ICS programmer / duplicator ?
Resources needed
PC software to download the HEX code (with fuse information)
PICmicro software for programming and duplicating
Programmer hardware to support the software
There are many of you who can write PC based and PICmicro s/w. Once this projet takes shape, it will be a great help to many PICmicro users.
Since this will be an on going project, members request for device support can first be addressed and then the rest of the PICmicro can be supported. This programmer will be something like PROMATE.
Initially basic and popular device support will be for the following PICmicro.
10F2xx
12F508
16F505
16F72
16F84A
16F628A
16F819
16F87xA
18F242
18F252
and so on.
I can design the initial schematic and upload for discussion and modifications. Once the schematic is frozen, then the s/w part (PC and PICmicro) can start off. The PC s/w is optional but an advantage).
Specifications of the programmer/duplicator.
1. LCD 2 x 16 (device selection, etc)
2. RS232 serial (to download the HEX file)
3. 4 keys (read/program/duplicate, etc)
4. 40 pins ZIF socket (8 to 40 pins support)
5. ICSP connector (ICS programming)
6. Variable VPP (16F and 18F devices)
7. SEEPROM (for local storing ... stand alone)
The design will be done with commonly available parts so that anyone can build it.
If there are people who can support it, I will start the project by making the schematic and PCB.
If we can hit it off, it will be agreat help to PICmicro users. What do you all have to say ?
Cheers
Ravi
