PICPROG3 MULTI-PIC PARALLEL PORT PIC PROGRAMMER

PicProg3 multi-pic parallel port PIC programmer for 8 / 18 / 28 and 40 pn PIC devices.

The PicProg3 is PIC programmer based on D.Tait's parallel port design. To operate it requires an external power supply 12-15VAC or 16-18VDC. It supports all 8 / 18 / 28 and 40 pin PIC microcontrollers which allow serial programming. PicProg3 has a connector and cable for ICSP programming and can be used to program all PIC-PxxB prototype boards.
The supported devices depend on the current version of ICPROG software.
There is also LINUX support for this programmer.

Note: The programmer may not work with low power serial interfaces - i.e. laptop or notebook serial ports. USB to serial cables have also not been proven to work.

FAQ:
My computer has no LPT port. Can I use a LPT to RS232 converter with PIC-PG3?
No, the USB to LPT converters add delay due to the USB nature and this will mess up the programming timings.
