[Hans Peter] wanted to move away from using full Arduino boards in his projects. One of the components he rarely used after the development stage is the USB hardware. Once the firmware is flashed to ...

[Matt Evans] was running up against the common programming gotcha caused by disappearing parallel ports. For years he had used a JTAG parallel cable when working with FPGAs but recently realized he no ...

the USB-ICP-LPC2K in circuit programmer now supports NXP’s ARM Cortex-M0 processor-based LPC1100 series and the Cortex-M3 processor-based LPC1300, LPC1700 families. In an updated version, the ...

This simple circuit can be used to program the PIC16F84 and similar “flash memory” type parts. It uses a cheap 555 timer IC to generate the programming voltage from a +5V rail, allowing the circuit to ...
