Ardpicprog Documentation

Ardpicprog is an Arduino-based solution for programming PIC microcontrollers and EEPROM devices from Microchip Technology Inc, such as the PIC16F84, PIC16F628A, PIC12F675, 24LC256, etc. The solution has three parts:

Note: Ardpicprog is not compatible with JDM-style PIC programmers. Those programmers typically use RS-232 control signals such as DTR and CTS to interface to the host computer. The Arduino has a simple serial interface over USB with no access to the RS-232 control signals from the host. Because of this, ardpicprog uses a completely different interface between the host and the programmer that runs over a regular serial data link. The host side was deliberately made compatible with the picprog tool to make it easier to replace picprog with ardpicprog in existing build scripts.
