this works on desktops only ill make a simple one for laptop also, this works great for PIC 12F, 16F series

ive been using one i built like this for 1yr now no problems
replace the 22k resistor with a 2.2k resistor, and replace the 1uf cap with a 10 uf cap.

here is the usb powered version, i will also post a radio shack parts list with this one.

yeh please i need a pic programmer if you could do that step by step tutorial and even put in a video please

i cant read schematics thats why

JWhiteLightning · « **Reply #3 on:** August 23, 2008, 04:35:35 PM »

Is there any way to add a 14 pin socket or other sockets onto it?

Wait.... Why is this in the 360 section?

Is there any that can be interfaced through USB? I wouldnt mind having to pay a little more money to be able to interface through usb.

Winterz117 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 23, 2008, 07:27:21 PM »

its in the 360 section because rapid fire has overrun it, and alot of people are looking for a programmer that works for 12f683, like meh. but can you post a radioshack parts list plus # plz? or links whatevers easier

RADIO SHACK PARTS LIST

1 -- 276-565 -- 5.1V ZENER DIODE -- $1.39 -- QTY 3
1 -- 276-1122 -- 1N4148 SWITCHING DIODE -- $1.49 -- QTY 5
2 -- 272-1025 -- 10UF CAP -- $1.19 -- QTY 1
1 -- 271-1325 -- 2.2K OHM RESISTOR -- $0.99 -- QTY 5
1 -- 271-1335 -- 10K OHM RESISTOR -- $0.99 -- QTY 5
1 -- 271-1339 -- 22K OHM RESISTOR -- $0.99 -- QTY 5
1 -- 276-1995 -- 8-PIN SOCKET -- $0.69 -- QTY 2
1 -- 276-148 -- PROJECT BOARD -- $1.99 -- QTY 2

TOTAL: $9.72 PLUS TAX

THE ABOVE PARTS LIST DOESNT INCLUDE A DB-9 SERIAL CABLE TO CONNECT TO PCB, YOULL NEED TO CUT IT IN HALF AND YOU CAN MAKE 2 PROGRAMMERS, BECAUSE YOULL HAVE ENOUGH PARTS LEFT OVER TO MAKE A SECOND PROGRAMER.

BUT I PREFER TO ORDER ONE OF THESR FOR $5.99, I HAVE 2 AND THEY WORK GREAT, AND IF YOU MAKE ONE IT WONT LOOK AS GOOD AS THE KIT!

Is there any way for it to interface through usb? And how can i add a 14 pin socket?

Winterz117 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 25, 2008, 06:37:26 AM »

yeah i dont see the serial plug that is on the programmer that the cable goes to

bill16504 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 25, 2008, 07:51:31 AM »

Should post this in the tutorial section.

SillyNuts · « **Reply #9 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:18:01 AM »

props to roms for his find. i mad one last night when my arm got better just to make one and it works fine ... heres the pics

nice find. man this works just as good as my 80$ programmer. sad really

gameroms · « **Reply #10 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:30:27 AM »

cool, glad to see it, you can program the 14 pin 16f series in the 8-pin socket. just line up leg 1 on each and have fun..

JWhiteLightning · « **Reply #11 on:** August 25, 2008, 03:11:57 PM »

Oh, ok, nice, And how about a usb interface?

And can you programm all types of PICs with this?
I currently have the PICKit2 starter kit,
but my friend wants one.

Winterz117 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 25, 2008, 05:31:07 PM »

are we supposed to be using a 10uf capacitor or a 1uf? the diagram says 1 but the parts list says 10

gameroms · « **Reply #13 on:** August 25, 2008, 06:19:00 PM »

i use a 10uf resistor and i also replace the 20k resistor with 2.2k resistor and it works great

JWhiteLightning · « **Reply #14 on:** August 25, 2008, 06:49:51 PM »

What about a usb interface?

gameroms · « **Reply #15 on:** August 25, 2008, 06:51:42 PM »

only usb for power like i listed 2nd diagram

ill look for one.

JWhiteLightning · « **Reply #16 on:** August 25, 2008, 07:23:21 PM »

So on the second one i can use a DB-9 to USB cable, but not on any of the others? It looks like that one calls for another power source. What is the GND and 5v parts, another power source?

here is the usb powered version, i will also post a radio shack parts list with this one.

for usb power, add the red and black of usb cable, if your serial port dont put out evough power

Im sorry, i didnt understand that. This is just usb powered? so i cant program through usb?

Can i do the first one using this?

Sorry, its just i have a laptop (Eee PC 4Gb) which doesnt have DB-9.

gameroms · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:20:57 PM »

heres what you need for a laptop, and thes gouys are good and ship quick.

http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3141

some times those adapters dont work, i would just order the usb programer

buy the time you buy parts and adapter, be same price for programer that you know is gonna work.

I'll second that. That's the programmer I bought and they did ship quick and were quick to respond when I emailed them a couple times.

JWhiteLightning · « **Reply #21 on:** August 26, 2008, 04:29:40 PM »

Hey, I was just wondering, I can just put a 14 pin socket on, right? Also, what kind of DB-9 cable do you use, because my moms desktop doesnt have DB-9, i think the lowest count it has is DB-25. Can i use a DB-9 to DB-25 cable? Why cant i just use a DB-9 to usb cable?

gameroms · « **Reply #22 on:** August 27, 2008, 06:10:13 AM »

get a db9 pci card for $9.99

you can get the usb adapter but hte 2 i have dont work with a progeamer, just order the usb programmer i linked you to, its cheaper in the long run cause your gonna need a db9 pci card, db9 cable, parts for programmer.

do your self a favor and get a usb programer.

usb programmer $19.07 from a trusted seller, they have a great support forum on their website if you ever have questions or problems.

I already have a PICstarterKit2 from microchip, This was for my friend, he wants one, and if it was cheap enough, i was gonnna make him one.

How about VGA?

staticvoid · « **Reply #24 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:45:48 PM »

what software are you guys using with this programmer

nm: used winpic worked fine after i installed porttalk

gameroms · « **Reply #25 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:03:08 PM »

glad you got it working

Winterz117 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 29, 2008, 07:50:38 AM »

when i get a programmer am i gona need porttalk?

gameroms · « **Reply #27 on:** August 29, 2008, 08:50:48 AM »

ive never needed it,
just be sure to replace the 22h resistor with 2.2, and replace the 1uf cap with a 10uf cap.

Winterz117 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 22, 2008, 02:08:52 PM »

what would this programmer be called? is it a jdm?

gameroms · « **Reply #29 on:** September 22, 2008, 09:55:18 PM »

yes, thats a jdm.
