PICALL Serial and Parallel PIC Programmer

This kit allows users to program various PIC microcontrollers using the PICALL software. It includes components to build a PIC programmer that connects to a PC's parallel port. The software supports programming PICs in both serial and parallel modes and can program many common PIC models. Users must download the latest version of PICALL software and register the kit to use the software.

KIT 117.

PICALL PIC PROGRAMMER


This is a kit of parts to use the PICALL software of Bojan
Dobaj to program all 8, 18, 28 & 40 pin DIP parallel and
serial programmed PICs. Parallel programmed PICs are
the 16C5X series. The PICALL software will work under
DOS, W3.1 or W95.
Do not confuse these programming methods with the serial
port and parallel ports of a PC. A serial programmed PIC
refers to the programming algorithm by which data enters
the PIC. In this method the data bits are entered serially
onto 1 pin (like a shift register) and the 13V programming
voltage is toggled onto a programming pin to latch and
burn the word (12 or 14 bits.) In the parallel programming
method the whole word (12 or 14 bits) is presented on the
PICs 8-pin port B and 4-pin port A simultaneously then the
programming voltage is toggled. Timing is critical. Onboard firmware is usually, but not always (see design by
David Tait), needed to do this.
You must download the latest version of the PICALL
software from:

Use cut pieces from the resistor legs & the tinned copper
wire supplied. We have supplied 8 & 40 pin IC sockets for
programming. However, for maximum flexibility in
programming you will need to buy your own 40 pin wideslot ZIF (3M, Aries) socket. (These sockets are cheaper in
the USA than in Asia where this kit is packed since they
are made in north America.) You will need to connect the
programmer to the parallel port of a PC using a straightthrough male/female cable from the on-board 25 pin PCBmounted subd connector.

New PICs can be added as they are released by entering
them in the device.ini file of the software. The software
will show you where to place your PIC chip on the board
for programming. The hardware & power need to be
connected for this to happen.
Schematic. Download the schematic for the PICALL
hardware from the website above. (Note: use the pdf
schematic from within the latest software & hardware file.
The schematic on the website itself may be an out-of-date
version.) There are two changes we have made:
R7/680E should be labelled R7/680R
for C4 ecap we have used 470uF/35V
Construction. There are 20 links to add to the board.
Note: R8 is now 10K, NOT 2K2 as marked on the overlay.

To program the 64 pin PICs - 16C92x & 17Cxxx - you


will need to buy an adaptor from Microchip or make your
own. Only 5 lines need to be taken from the 40 pin socket
to the adaptor card - MCLR/Vpp, Vdd, Vss, RB7 & RB6.
