Post by thread:[PIC] Looking for windows programming software for

Basicly as the topic says, im looking for windows programming software for a programmer I have built. LPT based, Low voltage programming. Perferabley one that lets me configure what pins it uses, Winpic looked nice but it only supports high voltage programming (unless theres a way to hack it to do otherwise) and must support the PIC18F4550

But you can try it out. It supports 16F87x/16F87xA and many PIC18F device (including 18F4550) with LVP. The URL is: http://www.members.aon.at/electronics/pic/picpgm/index.html Regards, Xiaofan

Andrew, what on earth are you talking about? Are you just speculating about what might be possible (without knowing what *is* possible)?

Wouter, if the winpic software or whatever supported selecting which pins to use, you could use the HVP control line as LVP so long as you can set the inversion on it, which I assume should be controllable if winpic is configurable for pins.. Make sense? > Wouter van Ooijen andrew

Make sense? OK, now it makes sense (to me): you were talking about the PC lines, not the PIC pins! I read it as if you were speculating about somehow reconfiguring the 'HVP' pin of the PIC.
