How can I make a PIC12F683 chip

[Daemon]

Okay I want to make a PIC Programmer to program PIC12F683 chips, that is all I want. I NEED it to be USB compatible as I only have a laptop. I am on a budget. I need a list of what I will need, and how to build it. Someone please help me, I know it's possible to make one that is USB compatible because of PICkit 2 Clones.

...a ghetto pile of components wired together.

LOL!

But yea seems complicated but I can get though that it's just the Spanish that's going to get me, as I don't know Spanish.

Is that a Micro USB I see?

umm... i don't see any spanish. it's english.

If im not mistaken you could just do this... and read it through.

what dont you understand?
all the parts are labled. the red dots indicate wire conections, wire/line intersections without the red dot indicdicat wires running past each other.

here is a pic of one I built:

Now... instead of using the cable in the picture. You can buy a cable with that end and a USB end. IDK what that part of the cable is called though. It may or may not work, i havent tested it yet but I plan on trying it when i get the parts to make that programmer.

That schematic is for a serial port programmer.   If you dont have serial and want usb i suggest a pickit2 or pickit2 clone.  it may be possible to use a usb to serial converter, however for the same price you could cop a programmer.

i have a temporary bread board that i want to use for now and i was wandering could you just plug the chip straight into the breadboard or is there something underneath of i

What a bump but a good question. Yes you can build a programmer on your breadboard to program your chips.
