hello to all
i would like to program a 16f57 microchip microcontroller,i 'm lookin for
some freeware tool,the one that i found until now is the so called PICer,but
it can only write,blank check or erase,and nowadays it seems to benot
working(my fault i guess,even ifMCLR ,data a nd clock appear ok)

Ic prog doesn't know what a pic 16f57is,so the programmer i use with it is
useless

same for Willem Eprom programmer

any idea or tips will be appreciated

Thank you from Diego,

I've bad news. The PIC16F57 is not very popular and I ever could not find
free programmer software for it. Same applies for the new PIC10F200. I
simply choose another PIC for the 16F57 (actually a 16F54 which is in the
same range). I used a 16F628 for it. As for the 10F200 I build a simple
programmer from Oshonsoft
http://www.oshonsoft.com/
and wrote my own software to program it. Programming specifications are
available for free on Microchips site.

Check out which versions are being supported, THEN choose which one to
use. The 16F84 has a ton of programmers, as does the 16F628.

For more fun with PIC's ...

I adapted my programmer for the 10F200 in the DIP pack and it works.
But damned if I can figure how to connect to the SOT-23 package! You
could hide 2 of them under a housefly.

Luhan,

Adapting the DIP package is straight forward. I had to do it for that Oshon
programmer. (Did not use the SOT-23 yet.) But how did you make your
programmer to know the 10F200? What programmer do you use anyway? I have
that WISP628 from Wouter van Ooijen which knew neither the 16F57 nor the
10F200 the last time I checked it out. Microchip has an awfull lot of
programming specifications which all looks like the same but often has small
differences. Sometimes they even have some internal contradictions like
telling you need a 12V power supply but a 12.5V programming voltage.

I have my own programmer (PIC on board, actual serial interface at
115200 baud, steals power from target device (or not), generates 13
volts from 5 volts, provides debug information from target back to PC).

You are right about the details on programming. I don't know why
Microchip changes things like some of the programming commands. So
far, I have every device from them programming ok, including the
10F200.

So far, I have not published the programmer on my site; there are a lot
of easier ways for someone to program pics for about $50 or so. I have
published my Editor/Assembler/Simulator that I use with it.
