Schaer+ Programmer using PIC12F629 microcontroller

Description Schaer is a generic programmer circuit capable of uploading and downloading firmware to/from several electronic devices like microcontrollers and eeproms. This and other programmers came to my attention when I was working in CAMBADA, the robotic soccer team from the University of Aveiro, and since all other programmers available there were too expensive for me to buy

Programmable watch with four character display using PIC16F628A microcontroller

Programmable watch with four character display You’ll be the talk of the town when you wear this obnoxious, oversized, completely impractical wristwatch. Display your favourite foul language, song lyrics, prime numbers, etc. Inspired by the Microreader kit, I decided to make a giant watch using similar sixteen segment displays. Twelve hours later, I came out

EMDP1 Extensible Multiple Device Programmer 1 Rev. C

EMDP1 — Extensible Multiple Device Programmer 1 (Rev. C) using pic microcontroller

Table of Contents Table of Contents Introduction Schematics Printed Circuit Board Issues Introduction This is revision C of the EMDP1 mother board. It differs from revision B in that a 40-pin ZIF (zero insertion force) socket and an 80-pin `universal’ plug have been added. This allows many chips to be programmed without requiring an adaptor
