Usbpicprog.org released a new version of the hardware design (v0.3) with some new features:
* New transistor circuit for VPP line which allows faster transition from 0 to 12V
* Possible to set VPP to 5V allowing it to run the target board and in the future for programming low voltage (3.3V) devices
* PGD and PGC can now switch to 3.3V level

The corresponding software version 0.3.0 is to be released soon!

An open source pic programmer for the USB port has been released under GPL and we call the baby: usbpicprog.
Usbpicprog consists of 3 components:

* A hardware design, a simple design around one PIC18F2550, 3 mosfets and a hand full of passive components.
* Firmware for the PIC18F2550 which translates the USB data into signals to program the target PIC
* PC software for Windows, Linux and Macosx which is capable of loading an intel hex file to program the target processor.... read more

Usbpicprog has released version 0.1.1 of the PC-software and firmware package!

The release features:
*Better autodetection
*Added support for
PIC16F84A
PIC16F818
PIC16F819
PIC16F873A
PIC16F874A
PIC16F876A
PIC16F877A

After the first release of the usbpicprog software - version 0.1 - it is now possible to buy the hardware in the webshop on http://usbpicprog.org. Of course the hardware design is open, so you can also build your own usbpicprog hardware

Usbpicprog has released version 0.1 of the PC software and the firmware.
Usbpicprog is a Microchip PIC programmer for the USB port with simple hardware.
The release contains builds for Linux (Ubuntu 8.04), Macosx, Win32 and a source package.

For more details see http://usbpicprog.org

UsbPicProg is a Microchip PIC programmer with simple hardware (one PIC18f2550 and some small components). It works together with Piklab. Usbpicprog consists of 3 components: *Hardware (a pcb design) *Embedded software *A plugin for Piklab / Piklab-prog

usbpicprog releases v0.2 of its PCB and schematic, the first file release of usbpicprog.
The release of the hex file and the Piklab plugin will follow later.
