Hey

I'm completely new in the whole microcontroller field. This is why I'm asking this question. I recently bought a 16F876A and 12F629IP. The 16F876 can be programmed with a programmer that I can make myself (a parallel port connection and a few components), without having to use UV to erase them. The problem is that I can't find schematics for a simple parallel port programmer for the 12F629. And do I need UV to erase these chips? I don't have the money to invest in a programmer right now...

Thanks for your time,
