WinPic PIC Programmer Software Download

This is a simple program for Win95/98/XP to program the PIC firmware from a HEX-file (the type generated by Microchip’s MPLAB^TM) into a PIC microcontroller. Most modern PICs (like the PIC16F84, 16F628, 12F675, dsPIC30Fxxxx) can be reprogrammed many times, because the program can be erased electrically (the code is stored in a FLASH, not a simple ROM). Some of the “very simple” programmer interfaces can be used, a few of them are described in the manual.

Features

• serial interface: compatible to the “COM84″, “JDM”, and user-defined
  Most interfaces for the COM-port should work without a special port-access driver, and may even work with USB<->RS-232 adapters now !
• parallel interface: compatible with SM6LKM’s “PIP84″-interface
• many other interfaces can be driven with a simple interface definition file (see manual)
• exotic interfaces can be supported through a specialized hardware-interface DLL (plugin)
• possibility to verify the PIC at different voltages (almost “production grade”)
• requires a PC with WIN95, Win98, Win XP (Win NT 4.0 and Win2000 not tested)
• Code memory size now up to 8192 words, data EEPROM memory up to 256 byte.
• Code and data memory may be programmed separately
• Bulk erase (“erase all”) or individual programming of all bytes present in from HEX-file
• Built-in “hex editor” for quick patches in code or data EEPROM memory
• Invocation with command line arguments is possible, so you can run WinPic from a shell
• Extra window with “Reload & program” function (always in front of others)
• WinPic now also supports JDM PIC-programmer 2, Velleman K8048, the Hoodmicro, the Willem interface, El Cheapo, and many others. The only(?) interfaces which WinPic doesn’t support are Microchip’s “PicStart plus” (far too expensive) and “PicKit2″ .
• Thanks to various collaborators, a French,  Greek, Portugese, Spanish, and Turkish translation of WinPic’s user interface is available. All languages are now contained in the installer (no need to download anything separately)
• Besides SMPORT, the PortTalk driver can be used. It proved to be faster under WinXP, especially when programming larger PICs (dsPIC and PIC18F).
