PicProg2006 helpmanual General information Introduction Thank you using the Velleman produkts. The VM134 (K8076 kit version) us a multifunctional and instructional programmer, aimed at programming a selection of Microchip ® PIC™ FLASH microcontrollers. These FLASH controllers can be reprogrammed many times, making them an appropriate tool for teaching a PIC programming language. Another advantage of reprogrammable controllers is that software of a device where it is implemented can easily be updated. -

Attention: make sure there is no PIC in the socket!. · You are ready testing the programmer when the test went well. If not, find the hardware error on the print or the incompatibility to the PC to avoid irreversible damage the PIC controllers. © 2007 Velleman Components... - Page 4 PicProg2006 helpmanual ATTENTION: When a communication problem between the PC and the VM134 or a hardware problem with the VM134 occurs, clicking on the test button or the LEDs will not be possible. The following message can appear If there is communication in the programmer socket between the VM134 and the...

"X" sign have been implemented in the actual software but not tested with this programmer. When meeting with difficulties, simply send the controller with an explanatory letter to the Velleman main office, attn the support department. We will do our utmost to solve the problem. We can not offer any guarantee since we depend on the protocol data released by Microchip. - Page 9 Here you can find the programme code. This is the hexadecimal upcode the controller will execute. You can also see the data code. These are the values in the EEPROM memory of the controller. This window only appears with controllers with an EEPROM memory (e.g. PIC16F627). © 2007 Velleman Components...

- Page 12 Hint: If LD1 turns off when placing a PIC into the ZIF socket, it indicates that an internal short-circuit in the component occurs or the PIC cable is badly connected generating a short-circuit. The VM134 ihas a limited protection against such short-circuits through R10. © 2007 Velleman Components...
