12F509 programmer

I've asked Nigel at WinPicProg if he's going to support those chips, just waiting for an answer.here's a link

Check this thread for two simple ideas for programming a SMD with a DIP programmer. I had the same question a few weeks ago.

Thanks BBarney...I'll keep an eye out.

Go figure, the guy at Microchip told me that the 12F509 would be a good choice for a basic 8pin that is "popular and readily available".

And some are saying they never heard of it.

Maybe it's a recent release.....I don't keep up like you guys do. I'm just now trying to move from OTP to flash.

Try this programmer:

http://216.239.37.104/translate_c?hl...ial_s%26sa%3DG

It is very easy to make and works with allmost all current pics including the dsPic series.

Use it with WinPic800, they suggest IC-Prog but IC-Prog hasn't been updated in a very long time and dosn't look like she is supporting it anymore. In winpic800 setup chose the Pablin programmer.

Nigel say's he'll get some chip's and have a look at them but right now winpicprog won't do them.so we'll just have to wait till he get's some chip's

i use often 12F508, 12F509 again. They're release since 1-2 year now.

MAYBE you can use PIC12C508 in you programmer software... MAYBE.... worth a try.

You know, this 12F509 has an internal oscillator....is this a problem for most of the programmers?

Like I say, I don't keep up with all the part numbers and not a really frequent picbasic user.

I think I should look at another part number that is compatible with my P16pro40 and forget the 12F509.

Could anyone suggest a low cost, (2 to 2.50 neighborhood in quantity), basic PIC that is anywhere from 8pins up (actually the more I/O the better, so 14 to 18pin is no problem at all).

Nothing fancy, just need some I/O pins to work with and an external xtal or rc.

A flash part.....still vailable in a dip packeage and definetly COMPATIBLE WITH THE P16pro40?

THANKS kindly for any part numbers....I'm just going to send these 12F509 back.
