Kanda now supply our new PIC keyfob and PIC handheld programmer range for field and production programming. They support PIC18F and PIC16F device families and are ideal for unskilled operatives and field upgrades.




The PIC handheld programmer is the big brother of the PIC keyfob programmer. It has the same easy to use single button operation but it is robust enough to power the target at 5V. So it is better for low voltage targets and programs faster than the keyfob programmer. It has a range of features that make it ideal for field and production use.

• Single button operation
• Powered by 9V PP3 battery
• Connector for 9V PSU (2.1mm barrel, centre positive)
• Supports PIC16F and PIC18F families
• Powers target at 5V
• Low and high voltage programming modes
• Fast programming times

You need one starter kit to load handheld programmers from the PC. Once it is loaded, the handheld programmer can be used in the field or in production.

• Win 98/2000/ME/XP
• Parallel port interface
• Code, Data and configuration loaded from HEX file
• Supports PIC16F and PIC18F devices

One button operation, the simplest PIC programmer on the market

These PIC keyfob programmers make it really easy for unskilled operatives to program PIC devices in the field or on the production line. Just plug them into the target board and press the button. The key fob programmer supports PIC16F and PIC18F devices and has the following features:

• Load from PC using Starter Kit (see below)
• High or low voltage programming
• Single button operation
• Powered from target
• 10-way DIL interface and 6 x 1-way header
• Supports flash, data memory and configuration word programming (above 4.5V)

If your target voltage (Vdd) is below 4.5V, then the Chip Erase command will NOT work. This means that the Configuration Words cannot be erased or programmed so Code Protected (locked) devices cannot be re-programmed.

Therefore, for target voltages below 4.5V, we recommend our Handheld Programmer as it powers the target at 5V.

You need one starter kit to load the PIC keyfob programmer from the PC. The PC interface connects to the printer port, and the simple software lets you load the keyfob programmer with your target code and other information really easily. Once your PIC keyfob is loaded it can be used in the field or production line.

• Win 98/2000/ME/XP support
• Printer port interface
• Loads Data memory, configuration word and user ID bytes from HEX file
• Options to verify device ID matches, verify configuration word and program User ID
• Supports PIC16F and PIC18F devices

Small, portable and really easy to use, our PIC keyfob programmer eliminates operator errors on the production line or in the field
