Post by thread:AN589 PCB Design

I was going to make my own PC for this prgrammer as well, but while browsing the stuff at Radio Shack came across an excellant alternitve. It is called the componets PCB, It has various paterns for components on the board which work out real well tor the AN589. I was able to complete the board assembly in under half an hour and it looks great. Plus it only cost 2.89$. I just built mine last week.

Hello David! > Hello, does anybody have a PCB design for the AN589 PIC16C84 programmer? > This would save me the trouble of designing my own. You can take a look at Steve Marchant's home page at the following address: http://www.ccc.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczsteve/pic84.html He talks about the PIC programmer featured in the AN589 and all necessairy software that comes with it... Hope this helps, Jean-Francois ---------- Jean-Francois Joly EraseMEjolyalspam_OUTTakeThisOuTcapitalnet.com

Dave, If you don't already have a PCB four your PIC project, I think a better idea is to integrate the AN589 programmer into your project. It will save you very much design time. I did it, and it works very well!

It never ceases to amaze me that even though most components and related articles are made in the Asian countries how there can be such price differences from country to country. One of our students building his project needed a 1 amp bridge rectifier and (shock - horror) bought one from Radio Shack in Melbourne and paid $5.95. Oh well.

I didn't think *anyone* bought parts from Radio Shack - overpriced, low stock, and outdated technology. If its something like a W04, you can get them in the 20 off qty for well under a dollar - 50-60c ea If you're in a real hurry, use Radio Spares or Farnell Components, they *are* pricey, but what a range and stock level!

Nice thing about radio shack is that they are open 7 days a week and they are located pretty much everywhere, to me that sounds cheaper then saving a few dimes and waiting for delivery or driving across the country just to get that last piece to finsh your project. Afterall time is money.

Even in major shopping centres (malls to you?), they are not necessarily open Saturday afternoon and Sunday. > to me that sounds cheaper then saving a few dimes and waiting for > delivery or driving across the country just to get that last piece to > finsh your project. Stock of components, as against pre-built products, has never been a forte in this country I fear. > Afterall time is money. But for item after item, money is money too! I sent this to someone else directly: "Essentially, the only components I have bought from them have been sell-off stock, or the occasional "special". Such as a pack of coloured alligator clip leads, or a voice synthesiser chip when they dropped that line. It is rather sad too, that all the important components seem to appear as an item priced way beyond their value, do not sell (due to the price of course) then shortly fall foul of the stock policy which says that they did not sell, so they are dropped at disposals price and of course sell out in days! What appears in the US to be a useful supplier of serious components functions here as an over-priced ***-*** seller of poor quality rej**** from As*** manufacture." Cheers, Paul B.
