Resume

The goal of this project is to make a Microchip PIC chip programmer, because if we need to use a PIC in any project, this will serve us to record the firmware in it.

The T-20 programmer is a programmer for PICs and EEPROMs of the 24LXxx series that really works, is affordable, occupies as little space as possible and schedules the largest number of components.

                    

It does not require any type of adapter, and in three sockets available, we can program the following devices:

  • PIC12C508 /A, PIC12C509 /A
  • PIC12C67x
  • PIC16C55x
  • PIC16C61
  • PIC16C62x
  • PIC16C71
  • PIC16C71x
  • PIC16C8x
  • PIC16F8x
  • PIC16F873/4/6/7 (28-pin models)
  • PIC16C73B/74B/76/77
  • EEPROMs of the series 24LCxx

Hardware

The schematic of the T-20 programmer is as follows:
