duplicatig a chip

can i read a chip and then copy the code to a blank chip?

once it's not code/memory protect and your taget is the same as the source... yes

so how would i just copy to chip? i have the exact chips blank i just need multiple copies of it, i can' get the chip anymore so i wanna copy it

depending what you want to use.

Usually device programmer is use. with this method you read the chip, it gives you an .hex or .bin files. once it's saved to disk, you can copy as many as you wish.

or you can do your own. what kind of chip you want to copy?

pic16f628 .... now there is not way to actually see the programming is there, the text the programmer writes. In order to alter it

thanks

for sure you can see the code. Use your PICProgrammer, read the chip save it to hard disk. Use MPLAB to see the code... all in assembler but
