W1N9Zr0’s Bus Pirate PIC programmer

May 10, 2010 in Bus Pirate, programmers by Ian | 1 comment

We previously posted this combined development board and Bus Pirate PIC programmer from W1N9Zr0.

The C# source for the PIC programmer is now available in an archive, or grab it from the SVN. It uses the Bus Pirate’s raw-wire binary mode and an external 13volt power supply to program a PIC 16F628, but it can be extended to work with other PIC 12/16/18 chips. More about the programmer in the forum.

You can get a Bus Pirate for $30, including worldwide shipping at Seeed Studio. Adafruit also has the Bus Pirate and probe cables in stock and ready to ship.

Bus Pirate high voltage programming adapter

February 13, 2010 in Bus Pirate by Ian | 19 comments

Today we’re giving away an assembled Bus Pirate high-voltage programming adapter. It has a 5pin PIC programming header, a 6pin AVR programming header, and a small 13volt boost-converter power supply. A 13volt supply is needed to program PIC 12/16/18F microcontrollers, and clear the RESET fuse in AVRs. It’s doesn’t do much right now though, because there’s no support for it in any programming apps.

This will eventually be available at Seeed Studio, but you can get a preview of the hardware by leaving a comment below. Let us know what you want to do with it, on Monday we’ll send the adapter to a commenter with an interesting idea.  If you don’t have any ideas you can endorse another comment, we’ll take popularity into account when we give it away.
