PIC Keyfob Mini-programmer Starter Kit
The PIC keyfob Mini-programmer is a very small standalone programmer for PIC 18F and PIC16F microcontrollers, in a keyfob case. This Starter Kit contains all you need to get going with this unique PIC programmer including a programmer, PC interface and software.
The PC interface is parallel port. A plug in parallel port card is available if your PC does not have a Parallel Port
PCI Serial and Parallel Card>
The latest software works with PCI cards in Dual core PCs.
Main Features
Win 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP
PIC Microcontroller Support
All released PIC18F microcontrollers. Updates available for new device support.
PIC16F microcontrollers at 5V only - see PIC Handheld Programmer for Low Voltage support
PIC16F Support - HVP + LVP
Features
Once you have one Starter Kit, you can load as many PIC keyfob Mini-programmers as you like. Extra PIC keyfob Mini-programmers are available:
Individual PIC Keyfob Mini-programmers
Limitations
As the PIC keyfob draws power from the target circuit, it operates at the target voltage, down to 3V. However, the BULK ERASE command on the PIC microcontrollers will not work below 4.5V. So, if your target voltage is below 4.5V locked devices cannot be re-programmed. We recommend the PIC Handheld programmer for low voltage applications as it can power the target.
The PIC keyfob is NOT designed to cope with faulty target boards, so you should test or isolate target boards first, or use the PIC handheld programmer instead.
A Quick start guide with recommended circuits and setup details can be downloaded here.
PIC Handheld Programmer
A more robust PIC Handheld programmer is available, which is ideal for use on the production line or for low voltage targets. It operates in the same way as the PIC keyfob but has extra features for production use.
