Hi Guys,
I need a bit of guidance, and I'm certain you guys will have some
experience to point me in the right direction.
I have a little problem at home which I am confident that I can solve with
a PIC16 chip. I *could* solve the problem using discrete logic, but the
component count would be problematic because I have to work in a physically
quite small space. The chip I have in mind is a PIC16F526 in it's DIL
14-pin configuration.
I seem to think that the PICKIT 3 is the thing I need, but on my actual
circuit board I think I need a row of header pins (6 or maybe 8) connected
somehow to permit in-circuit serial programming? On my last PIC project,
now many years ago, I had a PICstart programmer with a ZIF socket that was
driven from an RS232 port on a PC, and in-circuit programming wasn't an
issue; but it looks like that is now obsolete. I have found similar
programmers (such as one from Dataman); but they're frighteningly expensive.
I will probably use SDCC for my project, and although fairly simple I'd
rather not write the code in assembler!
Can anybody offer me a bit of guidance as to the bits and pieces of
hardware that I need to buy?
Many thanks!
Richard.
