First, flash the arduino_icsp.ino sketch to an Arduino. This was tested with a nano, but should work on most boards. The arduino-icsp programmer takes a simple ascii based command set, so ...

As soon as we start getting familiar with the basics of Arduino, we start noticing some interesting components that are not commonly used on the Arduino. One of these things are the ICSP headers. They ...

As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...

I bought this programmer from here. I was happy with my DIY Serial Programmer, but I had to change/upgrade my old PC, and none of the new PCs in market, has a serial port anymore. DAMN... so, I was ...

Once more dreaming of making things, I started to puzzle over finding small connectors to allow in-circuit programming (ICSP S=serial) of a PIC as well as to allow a couple of push-buttons to be ...
