Hello,
Great work on Usbpicprog, it looks like the most complete open source
PIC programmer around (firmware + hardware + software). The code is easy
to understand and work with.
I'm porting prog.c and prog_lolvl.c to an open source PIC24F-based
serial multi-tool called the Bus Pirate
(http://code.google.com/p/the-bus-pirate/). The Bus Pirate doesn't have
a VPP supply, but I've got a break-out board with a charge pump and
switching circuit.
Unfortunately the Bus Pirate uses a serial interface (with an FTDI
USB->serial chip), so it's not directly compatible with the existing
client software. Is serial output something you might consider adding to
the client? (I originally thought it was CDC virtual serial port)
The Bus Pirate has 3.3volt pin outputs (5.5volt tolerant) so it should
also be able to program newer PIC 24/ds33/32's with 3.3volt MCLR
directly. This is something I'd like to work on if the client supported
the hardware.
I can probably send a Bus Pirate to any interested developers,
especially if you're in .nl or .eu.
Best regards,
Ian
