6/13/2023 0 Comments Tait Serial Programmer Schematic![]() Until I built an ICD2 that was my main tool. So good I stopped using anything else except to get TPB into a new chip, or when sending something out, to set the code fuses or similar. It's small, quick, in circuit without the extra crap of ICSP, etc. Tiny PIC Bootloader is extremely effective. Get it running on a Windows box first, so you see what it does. It uses the serial port, but if that's needed for your program it'd also be easy to put in a small 2 pin serial routine, to use other pins. I have a more heavily commented version of the PIC file I can give to you, I traced through it once to fix a bug that stopped it from working with a larger PIC, with the extra comments it won't take long to figure it out. The PIC part is only 100 words, so not that much to follow, just write a simple basic or other language you know uploader that reads a PIC file and sends what the bootloader wants. [ If you're really wanting to do Linux PIC development, I'd write a Linux based uploader for this if you can't find something else already. If you are only wanting to program a few PICs, I'd say have someone else do it for you, or get one of the above programs (IC Prog really, the other only handles a PIC or two it didn't) and a simple Tait style programmer running in Linux under an emulator.
