Standalone windows programming software fully supported by Microchop is included.Fitted with a sturdy metallic base base and standard ICD RJ11 connector, together with programming and power led's for status indication.The firmware of this USB PIC Programmer is also fully updatable as new devices are released and updates to the firmware can be easily downloaded via Microchip's official website. It is also fully compatible with Microchip's MPLAB IDE as it appears as the original PicKit2 and threfore can program all popular PIC Microcontrollers including the PIC16F84, PIC16F628, PIC18F458 and PIC16F877. I don't know where the reported discrepancy in the 100us timer comes from but it sounds like it may be related to attempts to calibrate and do software delays by counting on a PC - problematic at.

This PIC Programmer uses a USB port for connection to the computer as opposed to the traditional Serial port, therefore eliminating the need for a separate power supply as power is taken directly from the USB port.The PIC Programmer is 100% compatible with PicKit2 interface, but its much better than PicKit2 as it incorporates ZIF sockets for easy insertion and removal of the PIC. Programming may fail indicates that its not communicating with the PIC or that the PIC is not properly powered - that's why auto-detect fails, too.

Direct windows to the folder with the driver Install driver and ignore any warnings. (this file: b8fw08aboot10ee.hex) Plug the programmer into USB port Windows should detect the programmer and ask for a driver. Both 10-pin and 6-pin targets supported brenner8 pic programmer schematic Program Bootloader/Firmware into 18F2550.ATtiny2313 with USBtiny firmware preloaded.You can setup a tool and hotkey in Programmers Notepad to do this automatically. Assuming WinAVR (and therefore AVRDUDE) have been installed, type:Īvrdude -c usbtiny -B 1 -patmega328 -U flash:w:main.hexīe sure to include the "-B 1" flag as this will significantly increase the programming speed! You may need to change -p flag to your appropriate microcontroller.

To use this programmer, attach to a Windows machine and install the drivers listed below. One of the greatest features of this board is the ability to power the target (up to 500mA) from the programmer. It is fast! Comparable speed to the AVR ISP2 USB programmer from Digikey. This board is buffered and power protected so that you can do some really evil things to the programmer without killing it. We've played a bit with the ATtinys but we cannot guarantee that this board will be compatible with anything but ATmega168/328. This programmer works really well for ATmega168 and ATmega328 and should work with all the AVR micros supported by AVRDUDE. For out-of-the-box compatibility with other operating systems and machines, checkout the AVR ISP2 USB programmer from Digikey. However, this is a low-cost programmer designed for those on a tight budget. We use this programmer extensively on a Windows box and love it. We've gotten a big response (see comments and forum posts below) from Mac and Linux users having problems. Based on Dick Steefland's USBtiny and Limor Fried's USBtinyISP. It is low cost, easy to use, works great with AVRDude, and is tested extensively on a Windows desktop. The new version uses an SMD 5x2 header instead of a through-hole version.ĭescription: This is a simple to use USB AVR programmer.
