Hi all,

I've been mucking around with another programmer idea and it is just
about ready to be put up on the web site.

I've called it the PicPocket (for now).

It's actually a stand alone unit that can program most of the 12Cxxx and
16Cxxx range of PICs and doesn't need a PC to run. It can also operate
off 2 X 9V batteries.

It has an LCD display and only 4 press buttons which select a variety of
functions like read, write, verify, blank test etc.

You can choose a chip from an inbuilt data base and add or delete the
chip data by modifying a text file and upload it from the PC. That way
you can keep only the chips that you are interested in and discard the
rest.

You can upload and download HEX files to and from the PC or read
directly from a chip and this info is stored in EEPROM.

It also has a built in 14 bit code dissassembler. The LCD displays the
output like this...

001A.1003.BCF...
STATUS,C........

You can also modify the HEX code and the display will show the new
dissassembly automatically. Any HEX code that does not make sense is
highlighted. You can choose which RAM page data to dissassemble from and
the data base for this is freely customizable.

You can scan though all the ROM/EEPROM and will also display ASCII data.

0059.3072.MOVLW.
72h.'r'.........

The fuse display is like this, and the data can also be modified as well
as the text names.

OSC..........<
HS.......3FF2.

There is also a PC driver built in which interfaces to my Windows
programmer.

Another driver is also included to upload code to F series chips via a
bootloader.

It should be up on the web site soon.
