Tait Programming Interface (T700/2000/ORCA) Schematic Diagram 50 kB PDF Tait TB8100 Base Station Stuff 57.7 MB ZIP file Contains documentation, firmware, and software for a March 2009 maintenance release. We have no idea what any of this is, as it came anonymously, probably from a CD. Download the file and unzip it, then see what's in there. The following schematic diagram is for a simple 'COM84-compatible' PIC programmer on the serial port (COM1 or COM2). You should build a more advanced programmer! Check the voltage at the serial interface before deciding to build this extremely simple programmer. USB PIC PROGRAMMER (BRENNER8) My Tait Serial programmer works alright, but not every computer has a parallel port, and these days they're almost extinct. Most laptop don't even have a serial port! Thinking ahead a USB programmer seems like a smart investment. Fortunately someone has made a diy version, the Brenner8. It consists of a.

Here are some simple ways of programming a 16F84 (or 16C84)in-circuit. I was going to publish this stuff in EverydayPractical Electronics as the hardware described here can beused to upgrade their simple programmer. Unfortunately, because they will bedescribing their own enhanced PIC programmer suite called thePIC Toolkit(to appear in the July 1998 issue)EPE weren't very interested.Therefore, I've stopped working on thearticle but here's what I'dput together before I packed up. Epiphone serial numbers.
Programming 'in-circuit' means the PIC is programmed while installed in theproject board (or 'target board' ) under development. The target boardsupplies the PIC with power and has a connector that allows the programmeraccess to RB6, RB7, /MCLR and +5V/VDD as shown below.

The 1k resistor and diode ensure the PIC runs normally when theprogrammer is not attached; they also enable /MCLR to be controlledby the programmer - either grounded orpulled up to around +12V to enter programming mode.If you simply wantto program a 16F84 you don't even need these components and all thetarget board must do in this case is supply the PIC with +5V.Otherwise, apart from RB6 and RB7, all other PIC pins shouldbe connected as requiredby the project. The pins RB6 and RB7 are reserved for useby the programmer hardware but could be used by the target toounder some circumstances. |
The programming hardware is based on the quick-and-dirty approach butthe serial port versions are more conservative than most in that theydon't try to obtain the programming voltage (VPP) from the serial portitself. The PIC can be connected directly to the PC parallel or serialports (via a couple of resistors) or via simple interfaces for theparallel and serial port I've called PARPIC and SERPIC respectively.

The PC is connected to the programmer via four logical signals calledCLK, OUT, RESET and IN. Only the CLK, OUT and GND connections arerequired but the software will always control RESET and IN as well.The hardware defines exactly which PC pins are used in the programmingprocess. VPP is applied by closing the switch shown above however ifa suitable voltage is available on the target board the switch may beinstalled there instead (see target schematic). |

A direct connection from the serial or parallel port needs virtuallyno hardware. All you need to do is run the software and close/openthe reset switch shown and connect/disconnect VPP when asked. If aVPP supply is not available on the target board an external source canbe connected to the programmer (perhaps a couple of 9V batteries inseries if the zener diode shown is fitted). This scheme works prettywell but the only way to verify the program has been downloadedcorrectly is to run it. |
Adding a couple of transistors allows the PC to take control of /MCLRand read the PIC contents via the parallel port. This makes things alittle more convenient and enables the PIC contents to be verified. |
A slightly different configuration makes it possible to take controlof /MCLR and read the PIC contents using the serial port. Thisversion also introduces inverting buffers and steals VDD/+5V from thetarget so that the signals on RB6/RB7 are guaranteed to be between 0and VDD. (A direct connection to the serial port relies on the PICprotection diodes to keep RB6/RB7 within the limits -0.6V andVDD+0.6V.) |
The circuit above can be used to test out the simple in-circuitprogrammers. I've put together afew programs to exercise the boardincluding a novel single digit clock (writtenin assembly language) and simple digital die(written in HI-TECH C). |
The software to go with the programmers isbased on PP V-0.5. So far there is onlyvery brief documentation but there isn't muchto say in any case.
