Nick's Amiga PIC Programming stuff

I've just ported v5 of David Tait's PP PIC Programming software to the Amiga. This software is compatible with the Maplin PIC programmer (order code LU29G), and many many many others, including the example "development programmer" designed by microchip themselves (PDF documentation, Source code.)

You can download either:

of my Amiga port, VERSION 0.5(Ami).

Change history:

0.4(Ami) is moreorless a straight port of the PC PP, with no real respect for AmigaDOS programming principles.
0.4a(Ami) adds some AmigaDOS features like correctly locking the parallel port for exclusinve use.
0.4b(Ami) fixes a bug where sometimes it tried and (obviously) failed to lock the port twice.
0.5a(Ami) is a port of v05 of the PC PP, with all the correct locking and everything still in it.

Amiga Format are producing a series about programming PIC chips from your Amiga, and they're using my proggy on their coverdisk!

I'm now intending to start work on my own Amiga PIC programming software, with a pretty drag+drop GUI and all that. It'll probably be similar to EPIC by Stephen Marsden (see docs), only it'll be written in C, it'll be compatible with the Maplin PIC programmer and all the other microchip-a-like ones, and obviously it'll be much better! :-)

Watch this space!
