This simple circuit can be used to program the PIC16F84 and similar “flash memory” type parts. It uses a cheap 555 timer IC to generate the programming voltage from a +5V rail, allowing the circuit to ...

The project allows the programming of a PIC in circuit while avoiding the need to constantly take in and out of the programmer with the bending of pins subsequently. The project allows the programming ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...

Arguably, Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers do not get enough posts here. One of the drawbacks for some of us is that Linux support for PICs is not very well known. The information is out there, but no ...
