Don't Just Program Them... Learn All About Them!

• Supports 8, 14, 18, & 28 pin PICs
• Includes a PIC16F627 Microcontroller!
• On-board programming switches and LEDs!
• Software included!
• Electronic kit, assembly required

Unlike the stand-alone programmer K8076, this programmer also acts as an advanced experimenters board for PIC microcontrollers. Separate 8, 14, 18, and 28 pin sockets accommodate a wide variety of controllers. This eliminates the need for patching a universal ZIF socket. In addition, programming switches and LED status and feedback indicators to help you with your programming. Once programmed, no need to move the PIC to another board, making the K8048 a great teaching tool for PIC programmming. Also includes a standard PIC 16F627 PIC to experiment with, over and over again!

Standard programming functions are similar to the K8076. Code can be created in any ASCII word processor (i.e. notepad) or using Microchip's MPLAB development package (available at www.microchip.com). After writing the code and compiling, your code can be written directly to the microcontroller! The ICSP function allows you to reprogram controllers still in-use/powered by another board by simply connecting the chip to the ICSP bus on the programmer! All the software you need to get started is included, and with a basic knowledge of ASM and this kit the possibilities are endless! Check out the screen shot of the included software. Compatible with Win95/98/ME/NT/2K/and XP. If you are looking for a quick PIC microcontroller programmer only, without the advanced experimenter features, check out the K8076. From Velleman.

Note: This product requires a standard RS232 serial connection and is NOT compatible with USB to RS232 serial adapters or converters.
