As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...

Mini-connectors for PIC ICSP Once more dreaming of making things, I started to puzzle over finding small connectors to allow in-circuit programming (ICSP S=serial) of a PIC as well as to allow a ...

The program memory is written using Microchip's In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) technology. ICSP uses only two I/O pins. Designers, then, can program the MCU after the chip has been installed.

The programming software bit bangs the pins with a write time of less than eight seconds per 1k words of program data. So far this does not work with ICSP, but he plans to add that feature in a ...
