Serial Port Professional PIC Programmer


The PIC programmer project presented here is intended to be used by more experienced
developers who already have access to a simple PIC programmer, because the programmer
hardware is built around one 16F628A microcontroller that has to be preprogrammed with
firmware. The presented solution uses PC's serial port for reliable communication
between the programming software and 'intelligent' PIC programmer hardware.
Here is the list of currently supported flash devices from Microchip PICmicro product
line: 12F629, 12F675, 16F627, 16F627A, 16F628, 16F628A, 16F630, 16F648A, 16F676,
16F72, 16F73, 16F74, 16F76, 16F77, 16F737, 16F747, 16F767, 16F777, 16F83, 16F84,
16F84A, 16F87, 16F88, 16F818, 16F819, 16F870, 16F871, 16F872, 16F873, 16F873A,
16F874, 16F874A, 16F876, 16F876A, 16F877 and 16F877A.

OshonSoft.com Serial Port Professional PIC Programmer software is very easy to use and
works on all Windows platforms. It is free software and you can download it here (the
current version is 1.8) - download. PIC Simulator IDE should also be installed on your PC
prior to using this programming software.
The programmer firmware is given in the form of Basic source program that has to be
compiled with PIC Simulator IDE integrated Basic compiler to get the HEX file ready to
be programmed into an erased microcontroller. The correct microcontroller model needs
to be selected - 16F628A, and the selected clock frequency is supposed to be at least

8MHz.

Here are the proposed programmer hardware schematics (also available from the
Hardware menu of the programming software) and the photo of my PIC programmer
prototype.
