PIC & Microchip

  1. Bojan Dobaj P16PRO & PICALL programmers. As sold in Kits K96 K117 & K119. Since I make them they are excellent beginners programmers. Well supported. Beginners buy Kit 81 or Kit 119 and use with the FREEWARE P16PRO Lite to program PIC16F84 and 16F84A.
  2. PIC programmers. Octavio Nogueira. Well built beginners programmers. Supported.
  3. Covington 'no components' PIC Programmer. Published in Electronics Now, 9/98 & Silicon Chip, 3/99. Not guaranteed to work on all parallel ports but will probably work on yours. Kit sold by Oatley Electronics Sydney, Australia. Beginners programmer.
  4. Don McKenzie. dontronics.com Hardware and software. Very well supported. For beginners and advanced users.
  5. Newfound Electronics. For experienced users. Good PIC technical information & links.
  7. Parallax PIC Programmers Under new management Tech-Tools. 1/99.
  9. Free C compiler. bkhd.com To 1K. Handles 14 & 16 bit PICs too.
  11. EPIC Programmer Works on NT. (Too many add-ons!)
  12. Pekka Titamaki Has non-firmware David Tait 16C5x programmer corrected.
  16. Jens Madsen 16C84 programmers. Free, minimum components. But no support now. (You get what you pay for.)
  18. C2C & P2C Low cost C and Pascal compilers.
  20. $59 C compiler for SX & PIC. A review for PIC has been done by Peter Anderson.
  21. Microchip Web Site PIC chip manufacturer.
  22. Microchip Web Site Application Notes There are some excellent & well kept sites dealing with PIC's:
  23. Microchip Net Resources. Excellent, up-to-date, very comprehensive reference site.
  25. Don McKenzie. A must visit-site.
  26. David Tait. The person who originally designed the 'Tait' style of PIC programmer in 1994. See /files/uppboard.pdf for 16C5x non-firmware programmer.
  28. PicnPoke. Excellent way to learn PICs.
  31. phanderson.com PIC interfacing, technical use and much more.
  37. USTR.NET PIC AVR 8051.

Electronic/Hobby Publications

  1. International Web edition of Everyday Practical Electronics E-zine for subscription & downloading from the web.
  2. Everyday Practical Electronics EPE One of the best sites actively maintained by Alan Winstanley.
  3. Electronics Links by EPE. A must visit site.
  4. Nuts & Volts. The best hobby electronics magazine available today. Why cannot the other magazines learn from it?
  5. Circuit Cellar. For the advanced hobbyist this is an excellent magazine.
  9. Asian Sources. Hong Kong based Asian area electronics trade magazine. In English. Get the Regions Electronics Show dates.
  10. The Computer Journal. Irregular publication.
  11. Electronics Now & Popular Electronics. Having gone broke they have relaunched a new magazine Poptronics, in 1/2000.
  12. Silicon Chip, Australia. Quite good although I cannot fathom the reason for some of the article choices. Railway kits are featured but and proven non-sellers in Australia. The 2/2000 features a chip which was discontinued about 18 months ago (LM3909!) My current 4/2000 edition admits that the Editor cannot understand the Internet! Increasingly parochial.
  13. Electronics Australia, Australia. In slow but steady decline. Now a glossy consumer mag.
  14. And some science magazines I like:
