![]() ![]() ![]() So far, the programmer works with the 12F675 of the PIC Pocket Remote Control and the ubiquitous 16F84A. So in the spirit of the PIC programmers of old (say 10 to 15 years ago), I decided to build something myself, and along the way, I learned a lot about how the PIC programming protocol works at a low level. Nowadays, there are USB solutions for PIC programming like the PICkit 3 (Updated to PICkit 4), but if you want something a bit more bare-metal (and cheaper too), it’s a case of DIY. With a setup like this, a PIC was the accessible microcontroller choice like Arduinos are today, and many circuit designs could be found on the early internet. Many years ago, when computers had parallel printer ports, you could interface directly to the hardware, and a PIC programmer was not much more than a few passive components that pushed data straight onto the chip. Program a PIC microcontroller with an Arduino? Yes! And not just because we can, but because it’s easy to build and program stuff with Arduino.īUILD TIME: 1-1.5hrs DIFFICULTY RATING: advanced
