Velleman К8048 - Manual (Page 4)

PIC programmer board 2
1 general
The K8048 is a multifunctional programmer for Microchip ® PIC™ FLASH microcontrollers*. These
controllers can be reprogrammed a large number of times, making it easy to upgrade the software
of a device in which they are implemented or allowing the user to experiment to his heart's content.
Different IC types can be programmed and various LEDs and push buttons allow the testing of
small circuits on the programmer print.
The use of this programmer consists of two important stages: in the first stage the program code is
written on an ASCII word processor (e.g. NotePAD) included in the standard Microsoft Windows
package or you can use the Microchip's development package MPLAB, which you can find on their
site
www.microchip.com.
Upon conclusion of the compilation phase the program is programmed in the processor via the
K8048 by means of the PICPROG2 software. The K8048 has room available for the direct
mounting of 4 different 'footprints', 8 pins, 14 pins, 18 pins and 28 pins. Other 'footprint' types can
also be used via the ICSP connector. This addition allows the use of controllers with different
connections or controllers mounted in a device. The latter can be programmed without removing
them from their holders (see ICSP).
You can start programming immediately with the enclosed controller.
