Post by thread:PicStart Plus Adapters for PLCC

Hi, I post again cause unknown problem with posting. I 've only "spam_OUTPICLISTTakeThisOuTMITVMA.MIT.EDU" in field "to" and when reject, said can't be delivered to "TW..." Hi again Sorry ! With incomplete question, incomplete answer... My question was: I"ve heard that adapters exist for picstart plus programmer but I did not find informations about them on Microchip www. I specify: adapters PLCC for 44 and 68 pins (16c923/924). Sincerely Dan

You'll continue to see that error message forever, I'd guess; NEC Japan has a bunch of bozo's running their e-mail handling system, apparently. Just ignore it - EVERY post you post to the PICList will cause that error, if you repeat every post you get that error on, you'll have to post everything you send, daily, and some other PICList members will get peeved at you <G> What it means is that the PICList GOT your post, and sent it to the list - that particular recipient (George Hwang at NEC Japan) has apparently been fired or moved to a different e-mail server, and neither he nor the e-mail server administrators there will apparently bother to fix this by unsubscribing them... I tried about 32 different e-mail addresses there to try to get them to solve this. Only autoresponder posts back. EXPECT these messages, the "George Hwang at nec.co.jp" and the occasional Netherlands one, if you post to the PICList. Don't re-post as a response, as getting this post means EVERYONE on the PICList already GOT your post! Please! Or we'll get peeved at you <G> May be a Jory problem (Anyone?) I forwarded a copy of my Mini-FAQ post to him, I'll see what he has to say. Though I doubt anyone's forging people onto the list (I had to ack with a sent specific password, when I joined, IIRC.)

Are the adapters passive devices (wire to wire adapter) or do they have some type of active switching in them; say a transistor or demultiplexer to switch signals to the extra pins (which I don't think are used during programming anyway.) If it is straight wire to wire, paying attention to different pin number/function arrangements, it seems like it would be easy to wire up your own for a lot less.

The expensive part is the connector. If you can get by without an expensive connector and can wire your own, it should work just fine. -- ___________________________ | Darrel Johansen | | tempe, arizona | | KILLspamdarreljKILLspamprimenet.com | |_________________________|
