This simple circuit can be used to program the PIC16F84 and similar “flash memory” type parts. It uses a cheap 555 timer IC to generate the programming voltage from a +5V rail, allowing the circuit to ...
Arguably, Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers do not get enough posts here. One of the drawbacks for some of us is that Linux support for PICs is not very well known. The information is out there, but no ...
