Parallel Port Handheld PIC Programmer

Hand Held PIC Programmer for PIC Microcontrollers

Parallel Port version has been replaced by USB version. Existing parallel port programmers can easily be converted to USB so can continue to be used with USB PC dongle.

USB dongle is available separately, see related products above.



Existing users: LPT handheld programmers can be updated to USB by connecting them to USB loader, see Handheld Programmer USB Loader

HandHeld Field and Production PIC Programmer for PIC microcontrollers, with 256 KB of memory, loaded by LPT Port. Just load the Handheld PIC Programmer from a PC using the Hand Held PIC Programmer LPT Starter Kit. Now you just plug it into your target board and program and verify Code, Data, User ID and Configuration Bytes with a single button press. It can power your target PIC microcontroller using internal battery or 9V external Power supply.
This Handheld PIC Programmer is ideal for non-technical operatives as no mistakes can be made - just press the button and the correct code MUST be loaded. You can set it to program the whole PIC microcontroller or just the Data memory (PIC16F only). It supports PIC16F and PIC18F microcontrollers.
Now supports PIC18FxxJxx devices
