Introduction Chapter 1. Introduction Hand Writer is a universal programmer series, specifically designed as a portable programmer. Hand Writer: • Is powered by a 9V battery. Additionally, it can be connected to a USB power adapter and power bank. • Is a standalone product that performs firmware updates and saves hex files for continuous programming.
This is the USB port used to connect Hand Writer to a PC when updating firmware. In addition to firmware updates, the USB port can be used to connect to a power bank in case of power shortage.
