8-way PIC Handheld Programmer Starter Kit

USB Starter kit for 8-way Handheld PIC Programmer

The 8-way Hand Held PIC Programmer stores up to 8 different programs and PIC microcontroller types. Select the correct program with the 8-way rotary switch and press the button, job done. It reduces mistakes and means that a PC or laptop is not needed to program your PIC target.

This kit includes the USB adapter and software needed to load the programmer.

Handheld Programmer without Loader

Extra 8-way PIC Handheld Programmers You only need one starter kit to load lots of Handheld PIC programmers.

If you do not want to use the internal 9V PP3 battery, the power supply required is 9V with a 2.1mm Barrel connector, centre positive, 250mA up. Any power supply that meets these specifications can be used, or they are available on the shop.
9V International Power supply for use with this PIC handheld programmer.
