Hi! I can't believe it would be very hard to use the "Extra low cost pic programmer" (http://www.jdm.homepage.dk/newpic0.htm) with a pic12C508 instead, the only problem is that I have no idea about the pin configuration for this device. Does anyone know if it's able to build a similar programmer for pic12C508, and how? I'm also interested in a simple programmer for the pic16c74b. /Johan >From: Stan Ockers >Reply-To: Stan Ockers >To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: COM84 programmer >Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2000 07:35:05 -0500 > > Subject: Time: 7:06 >AM > COM84 programmer >4/6/00 > Date: >After using a parallel port programmer for quite a while, I recently >switched to a simple serial port programmer to program PIC16F84's.
