Articles :: PIC Programmer complete and working!

unstable -- Mar 19, 2006

I have finally finished my implementation of David Tait's classic programmer. It took me a while to plan it out o?nto a stripboard, but with the help of Lochmaster it all eventually took shape. Apart from having destroyed 2 PIC's :( Expencive hobby...

I am now looking forward to creating PIC software and making more LED's flash. There is o?ne project which is o?n my mind at the moment and should start to take shape in the next couple of weeks. I have already plotted out the circuit and created the stripboard layout, which will no doubt need refineing.
In the mean time here are the pics of my programmer.

In the downloads section you will find the stripboard layout for the programmer, together with a copy of the Linux port of Tait's programming software (Including all source code and build scripts).
