 The
new and improved model of the popular melabs USB Programmer
now offers even more features than before! More than 300
PIC microcontrollers are supported! Support for future devices
can be added via FLASH firmware updates.
Intelligent voltage regulation allows programming of
the new, low-voltage PIC® MCUs as well as standard five-volt
devices. The U2 USB Programmer is powered by the USB port.
No additional external power adapter is needed!
U2 USB Programmer Features:
- Powered from USB port
- Fast FULL SPEED USB data transfer
- HID interface
- Standard USB cable ("A" male to "B" male)
- Full featured, command-line operation
- Automatic Vdd and Vpp adjustment for different PIC MCUs
- Dual-color indicator shows ready/busy states
- In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) connector for interface to project board
- Full featured software included with support for ICSP-capable PIC® MCUs
- Flash firmware easily upgradeable to add support for future devices
- Compatible with Microchip HEX format files
- Compatible with all Programming Adapters
Programming Adapters: We offer an extensive line
of programming adapters that allow you to program devices
in DIP, Surface Mount, and PLCC packages. To find an adapter
to fit the part/package that you need to program, see our
Programming Adapters section.
In-Circuit Serial Programming: The U2 Programmer
is capable of programming PIC MCUs in-circuit. This allows
you to solder the chip to your board before you program
it, making both development and production more convenient.
To use this feature, your target board must have some means
of connecting to the 10-pin header on the programmer. More
information about ICSP may be found
here.
Automated Programming: The melabs Programmer Software
can be controlled with command-line switches. This allows
you to automate repetitive programming processes for production
or development. You can even disable the graphic user interface
(GUI) so that options and settings can't be changed accidentally.
This also makes it possible to perform multiple programming
tasks from a batch file or custom application.
Software: 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 melabs programmer software is compatible with the
standard Microchip HEX format files. Any assembler or compiler
for PICmicros can be used to create the program, including
MPASM, CCS C,
PicBasic, or
PicBasic Pro.
The same software that controls the U2 Programmer can
be used with all models of our programmers, including EPIC
parallel port programmers and melabs Serial Programmer.
The software can even control multiple programmers on one
computer.
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 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.

Now available in a case!
The U2 USB Programmer is now optionally available as a cased
version. Same great funtionality as the standard version but
enclosed in a tough plastic case for enhanced durability.
Ideal for use in the field!
