MicroChip PIC imbedded micro-controller programming.

Here is an old DIY ISA bus PIC 16C5x and 93xx/24xx serial EPROM programmer that I designed in 1993. The software and hardware designs were based on specs from the MicroChip Data Book - I had never seen a PIC at that point. It has a programmable power supply that allows verification of the EPROM burn at various Vcc levels. They have since shifted to serial programming EEPROM on most new PIC designs and I haven't bothered to update the software. The UV eraser doesn't get used much any more either. For anyone interested in an inexpensive programmer for every PIC except the latest designs, check for PICALL.

In the future...

There will be articles related to constructing and reverse-engineering
electronic hardware and software. C++ and Assembly language
programming and disassembly will also be covered.

Stay tuned...
