Summary of Make your own PIC Programmer using PIC12C508
The ezPIC is a low-cost serial port programmer designed for programming PIC microcontrollers and I2C EEPROMs. It requires no external power supply, drawing power directly from the RS232 serial port. Featuring a durable 3M ZIF socket, it supports in-circuit programming and is software upgradeable to accommodate future PIC devices. The device includes LED indicators for programming activity and is compatible with various PIC microcontrollers, providing a straightforward programming process using IC-Prog software.
Parts used in the ezPIC Programmer:
- RS232 Serial Port connector
- 3M Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket
- LED indicator
- PIC12C508 microcontroller (or compatible PIC device)
- Supporting passive components (resistors, capacitors)
- Switch for device selection/operation mode
- PCB and housing materials
ezPIC is low cost serial port programmer for PIC microcontroller and
I2C EEPROM. The programmer does not need external power supply and it
takes all necessary power and signal from RS232 Serial Port.
Features
* No external power supply required
* High quality 3M ZIF socket for easy insertion and removal of
devices
* Software upgradeable for future PIC Microcontrollers
* Can program most PIC and I2C EEPROM devices
* In-Circuit Programming capability
* LED indication of Active programming mode.
Using IC-Prog for Programming
1. Select appropriate PIC / EEPROM Device to be programmed
2. Load a file, Click on open fileโฆ
3. Put your device in the hardware at proper location and check for
proper switch position.
4. Program All to write and verify the file into device.
