12F509 programmer

[bbarney]

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.

The 16F628 is a nice basic chip with a fair amount of funtions and resonably low price (a bit more than the $2 range). 18 pin and programs fine in my home-made Pic16Pro programmer with either Picall or WinPicProg.

you could try 12f675,winpicprog does it and it's 8 pin

[Michael]

Thanks folks....I think I'll get that 16F628A....only 1.65 for 100pc and 16 I/O to boot.

I see it on the list of chips for my picall and p16pro so that's even better.

Appreciate it.

Good choice, I use the 16F628A in several projects using the internal osc and it works great.

You should consider either making or buying a more universal programmer as well. It will come in very handy.
