COP8 flash microcontrollers are low power and high performance, making them perfect for a wide array of different projects. The flash memory makes uploading code to them relatively easy and they will retain it effectively, ensuring the chip carries out its required function.
In order to programme COP8 microcontrollers you typically need to connect to a computer and must use the required software studio. When time is of the essence or a lot of products need to be programmed whilst away from a PC, dedicated keyfob programmers can be used. These are plugged into a computer and have the code uploaded to them. It is then a simple case of plugging them into the microcontroller and them clicking the button to upload it.
At Kanda we provide a selection of quality COP8 keyfob programmers. They are completely portable so programming becomes possible in any kind of location. The lightweight nature means they are easy to carry around. With only a single button to upload the code there is no chance of making a mistake.
The code on the keyfob programmers will be held indefinitely so there is no risk of you coming to upload it to a microcontroller to find it has vanished. The only way it will disappear is if you replace it yourself by plugging into a computer and reprogramming it. You can do this up to 1,000 times, ensuring you generally only need to purchase a single keyfob unless you want to retain a dedicated one for each and every piece of code.
To help people get started with their programming right away we offer a full starter kit with the COP8 keyfob programmers. The kit contains the programmer itself, the software you need to create and upload code, and a parallel port PC interface. A one metre cable and programming connector is provided too.
Kanda is proud to stock this fantastic starter kit and has supplied it to all kinds of clients over the years, from hobbyists to experienced programmers and even training providers. We offer great quality and are committed to providing value for money too. If you require any assistance or advice about whether it will be suitable for your project, please get in touch.
