If you read my first post about a simple CPLD do-it-yourself project you may remember that I seriously wiffed when I made the footprint 1” wide, which was a bit too wide for common solderless ...

In our final installment of Tools of the Trade (with respect to circuit board assembly), we’ll look at how the circuit board is tested and programmed. At this point in the process, the board has been ...

An ICSP pin header has been placed on PCB to create a programming socket for PICKit 2 programmer with the utilization of PIC16F676. An experiment board was used to build the ICSP socket for the PICKit ...

One of my favourite things to do on a cold winter night is to heat up my soldering iron and sit down at my workbench for an hour of circuit board building. Unfortunately, many of the development ...

The project allows an easy transfer of hex programs to most Atmel AVR microcontrollers without the need for high cost and constraint time. The project allows an easy transfer of hex programs to most ...
