Open Programmer v0.7.x

Open Programmer v0.7.x 

Main Programmer.

Here is my version of Open Programmer v0.7.x originally located HERE.

An open source USB programmer for PIC micros, I2C-SPI-MicroWire EEPROMs, some ATMEL micros, generic I2C/SPI devices and (soon) other devices..

Quick facts

• Completely free and Open Source (including firmware)
• Programs PIC10-12-16-18-24, dsPIC30-33, EEPROMs type 24xxxx (I2C), 25xxx (SPI), 93xx6 (MicroWire), some ATMEL micros, communicates with generic I2C & SPI devices (see supported devices)
• Can work as ICD debugger
• USB 2.0 Full Speed interface, HID class (same as keyboards, mice, etc.)
• Self powered
• Doesn't need drivers
• Built from easy to find components (estimated cost ~10€)
• Hardware generated timings for maximum speed and reliability (writes a 18F2550 in 15s, 8s under Linux)
• Doesn't saturate your CPU and doesn't suffer when other programs are running
• Open source control programs for Linux and Windows

Preparing the blank PCB for image transfer:

 

BTW ito yung paper na ginagamit ko...

Sticker paper for iron-on.

After iron-on soak the PCB on warm water to peel-off the paper..

Now the PCB is ready for etching..:D

PCB now on my DIY etching solution:

Here is the etch PCB now ready for drilling:

 Drilling time:

Drilled PCB ready for stuffing:

Oopsss....Don't forget the PARTS PLACEMENT GUIDE before stuffing the parts :D

Stuffing some IC sockets....

Almost finish..:D

Finished Product!

First run...let see if gagana nga...:D

Yes!! It's working!!

Some hardware test and initial testing...

Trial fit..:D

Here is the final look of adapter mounted on Base Programmer:

Here is another adapter for ATMEL Devices

Success!! waiting for some device to test....
