Introduction:
FD-ICP
In
addition
to Simple
Parallel
port PIC
Programmer
detailed
elsewhere
on this
site, I
wanted a
Parallel
port PIC
Programmer
with ICP
output
socket.
This
project
came to my
mind from
a concept
by
OziPic’er.
This
programmer
is built
for Free
Windows
Software
called WinPicProg
developed
by Nigel
Goodwin
and uses a
74HC14
instead of
74LS05
used on
other
parallel
port
programmers.
Programmer
PCB is
double
sided PTH
board, 6CM
X 8CM and
has a 6
Pin Female
ICP output
connector
with pin
connections
exactly
same as
PICKIT2 of
Microchip.
An
adaptor
suitable
for 8, 14,
18, 20, 28
& 40
Pin PIC
Micro
Controllers
is
available
to use
with this
ICP
Programmer.
It
should be
noted that
even
though,
all kind
of PIC
Micro
Controllers
may be
accepted
by Adaptor
board,
only those
supported
by
software
might be
programmed.
Hardware:
You
require a
12-18V AC
or
14-18VDC
power
supply.
When
connected,
an LED
labeled,
as
“Power”
will
light.
Indicates
that 13.2V
is now
available
on board.
This is
Vpp supply
used for
programming.
Run
WINPICProg
software
on your PC
to check
out if
rest of
the
hardware
is
functioning
well. Vdd
LED will
light when
Vdd
(Target
Power)
check box
is ticked
on
software
window.
Similarly,
Vpp lights
may be
tested by
selecting
appropriate
devices.
Although,
Vpp &
Vpp2 are
generated
separately
by
software,
they are
combined
within the
hardware
to produce
a single
Vpp for
ICP
connector.
Q6 is used
for Vpp
reset.
Compatibility with OS:
This is a Parallel Port PIC programmer and is
duly tested on Win98. If you decide to make or buy this programmer and
want it to use with XP/Vista etc, please ensure that you understand
your OS very well. I wont be in a position to support for questions
related to Port configuration etc for specific OS. For
XP/Vista etc please look for a suitable USB PIC Programmer.
