 The
Serial Programmer uses a serial port to interface to your
computer. This makes it compatible with computers that don't
have parallel ports. It also allows the use of a USB-to-Serial
adapter for those computers that only have USB ports.
The programmer board is specifically designed for
In-Circuit Serial
Programming. An adapter is available (included in
Programmer Bundles) to allow the
programming of DIP-packaged PICs from 8 to 40 pins.
The programmer is also compatible with the complete line
of Programming Adapters. This
allows you to program almost any ICSP-capable PIC in almost
any package.
The new design is small and compact. The programmer board
measures only 1.8" x 2.3". Power is supplied by a
15VDC, 500mA AC Adapter. A
dual colour LED indicates programmer status. The connection
to the computer is via a standard 9-pin serial cable.
Serial Programmer Features:
- Fast serial operation at 115,200 bps
- Can be used with USB-to-Serial adapters
- Dual-colour indicator shows ready/busy states
- In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) connector for
interface to project board
- Full featured software included with support for
all ICSP-capable PIC microcontrollers
- Compatible with Microchip HEX format files
- Compatible with all Programming
Adapters
The programmer includes software for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
This software allows you to control the programmer and set
the configuration bits on the PIC. The software may be run
as a standalone application or launched from most program
editor/IDE packages like MicroCode Studio.
The Serial Programmer software is compatible with the
standard Microchip HEX format files. Any assembler or compiler
for PIC microcontrollers can be used to create the program,
including MPASM, CCS C,
PicBasic, or
PicBasic Pro.
The software allows you to set configuration bits on
the PIC with an easy-to-use list of options. Each configuration
option is selectable in a drop-down list. Configuration
data may be read from a hex file or from a PIC.
The consolidated view-memory window lets you view each
section of memory in the PIC with a click. A right-click
gives you the choice of viewing ASCII, Decimal, or Hexadecimal.
A formidable list of options allow you to customize the
way you interact with the software. You control what areas
of the device are erased, programmed, and verified. Save
mouse clicks with options like "Disable completion messages"
and "Erase before programming".
The programmer's firmware can be upgraded electronically
with the click of the mouse. You don't have to worry about
whether your hardware is compatible when purchasing a software
upgrade. Any required firmware changes will be included
in the purchased upgrade.
