Standalone Handheld and Portable PIC Programmers

Starter Kit

You need one Handheld PIC Programmer Starter Kit to load handheld programmers from the PC. Once it is loaded, the handheld PIC programmer is completely standalone and can be used in the field or in production without a PC or power.

• Win 2000/XP/VISTA/Win7 (32 and 64-bit)
• USB port interface - Parallel available
• Code, Data and configuration loaded from HEX file
• Supports PIC16F and PIC18F devices, including J and K microcontrollers
• One button operation, the simplest PIC programmer on the market

PIC 8-way Handheld Programmer

The basic PIC Handheld Programmer is great for its simplicity, but you are limited to one program, so we have introduced an 8-way version.

This has the same simple one-button operation for target programming but it has an 8-way rotary switch to select from up to 8 different programs.

8-way Hand held PIC Programmer features

• Simple Program selection using rotary switch
• Each program slot can have a different file, PIC microcontroller, configuration bytes and Data
• Each program slot is up to 256KB in size
• Same one button operation to program target
• PC software reads programmer and displays program list, including 30 character discription, filename and PIC microcontroller
• Only program slots required need to be programmed
• USB interface to load Programmer from PC

Standalone Programmer Features

The standalone PIC Portable Programmer is the most sophisticated of the range, but we have tried to maintain the same easy to use philosophy. The keypad for selecting programs is very straightforward, with program selection by number or scrolling with arrow keys. Once program is selected, just press program button.

• Keypad and LCD display
• Stores up to 32 programs, 256KB each
• Includes rechargeable battery and charger
• Includes PC USB interface and loading software
• Win 2000/XP/VISTA/Win7,8,10 32 and 64-bit
• Low and high voltage programming
• Code, Data and configuration loaded from HEX file
• Supports PIC16F and PIC18F devices, including J and K microcontrollers
