Parallel Port PIC Programmer

This document describes a parallel port PIC programmer that can be used to program PIC microcontrollers. It supports many PIC12F, PIC16F, and PIC18F models. The programming software is easy to use and works on Windows. It programs the PIC chips through a simple hardware interface connected to the PC's parallel port. Users can add support for additional PIC models by modifying a devices configuration file. Schematics and a photo of the prototype hardware are also provided.

Parallel Port PIC Programmer

PIC programmers and PIC programming are the main topics on many web sites. This
page is the result of my intention to give my contribution to those efforts and to help the
users of my PIC Simulator IDE and its integrated basic compiler get some basic
information how to put the generated HEX code into a real PIC chip. The presented solution
uses PC's parallel port for communication between the programming software and simple

One nice feature of the programming software is that all supported devices specific
information (including programming algorithms written in special symbolic language) is
loaded from an external devices.CFG file. Users that are acquainted with the low-level PIC
programming details can easily add support for missing PIC models. If you manage to
develop and test the support for some of the currently unsupported models, please send to
me your devices.CFG file modification, so that I can oficially release it.

Here are the proposed programmer hardware schematics: view
