Olimex PIC-PG3 Programmer
Description
PIC-PG3 is programmer based on D.Tait's parallel port design. To operate it needs external power supply 12-15VAC or 16-18VDC. It supports all 8/18/28 and 40 pin PIC microcontrollers which allow serial programming. PIC-PG3 have connector and cable for ICSP programming and can be used to program all PIC-PxxB prototype boards. You can get a fully assembled and tested PIC-PG3 programmer at http://www.olimex.com.
Important note:
For this programmer the programmer autodetection feature has to be deactivated (Menu: Hardware - Hardware Selection/Configuration...) by directly selecting the Olimex PIC-PG3 programmer. Reason for this is that this programmer has overlapping MCLR pins depending on the IC sockets which could cause Vpp on a PIC port pin different than MCLR pin. Due to that also the corresponding Olimex PIC-PG3 programmer type has to be selected. I.e. if you want to program a 8, 14 or 18 pin PIC, you have to select the "Olimex PIC-PG3 (8pin, 14pin, 18pin)" programmer. To program a 28 or 40 pin PIC you have to select "Olimex PIC-PG3 (28pin, 40pin)".
