HAND HELD PROGRAMMER QUICK START GUIDE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1) Do not leave the programmer connected to the PC adapter or a target

system, as this will drain the battery.

Installing Software

1) Run the executable file on the CD. This will install software and pre-

install USB drivers.

2) Plugin PC dongle to a USB port. The drivers should install

automatically. If they do not, see Troubleshooting section

LOADING FROM THE PC

1) Connect the PC adapter (dongle) to the PC USB port.

2a) Connect the long extension cable, using the end black socket, to the

PC adapter. Then connect the programmer to the end grey plug of the

extension cable - using the short ribbon cable. This method is useful

where access to the PC adapter is poor.

2b) Or, simply connect the PC adapter directly to the programmer using

the short ribbon cable.

Method 2

Male 10-pin

Connector

50cm Lead

1) Connect 50cm lead to Handheld Programmer

2) Connect black 10-way female connector (on end of lead) to PC

adapter

3) Plug 50cm lead into Male 10-way connector

Method 1 50cm Cable ERRO R Progra m Connect Handheld Programmer to PC adapter with short cable USB Port 3) To load code, follow the instructions in the software. 3) Run the Handheld Programmer software a) If USB dongle is not detected, or another Kanda dongle is present, then this error appears. Make sure only one Kanda dongle is plugged in. b) If the PIC Hand held Programmer is not detected, then this message will appear.

c) If the PIC Programmer requires a firmware update, this message appears. Click OK to carry out firmware update. Once the programmer is detected and any firmware update necessary has been carried out, the main programmer window will appear.

The Right-hand side of the screen shows the Programmer settings, and the Lefthand side shows details about the PIC device, filename, programming method and areas to be programmed or verified. Program setup • Select the file to use in the filename box. Notes: The programmer expects a Microchip type hex file (as produced by MPLAB).

incomplete information could fail this test. See section on Error Codes. 2. Verify Configuration Bytes. Allows configuration byte programming to be verified. See section on Error Codes. 3. Program User ID. User ID bytes are programmed – PIC18F only. The User ID bytes must be included in the Hex file or all locations will be programmed with 0xFF. See section on PIC18F Hex File formats for more detail 4. Preserve Data Memory. Existing contents of device Data EEPROM are preserved. • 3.

CONNECTING TO A TARGET 10-way connector Connect the programmer to the target system using the short ribbon cable. The programmer has a 10-way connector with the following properties. • • • Target Layout – not end of lead view Header is 0.1” (2.

Note: This adapter connects all the GND pins shown in the 10-way connector. If you make your own 10- to 6-way adapter, it should also connect all the GND pins on the programmer lead. ICSP CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS Microchip do not recommend any particular circuit for ICSP programming. There are diagrams for different tools, such as Pro Mate and PICKit2 with similar circuitry but slight variations. Kanda have produced a recommended circuit that will work effectively with our programmer.

VDD side of the resistor or by fitting a Schottky diode on this line as per note 1. 3) The 100nF capacitor shown on this pin is optional for HVP but we do recommend that a capacitor is fitted if possible to avoid glitches on MCLR. This is the maximum value, and we recommend something smaller. Larger capacitors may prevent the PIC from entering HVP mode. Do not fit for LVP mode.
PAGE 9
Low Voltage Programming Only some PIC devices have 5V programming – LVP – option. Consult the device data sheet if you are unsure. Assuming the PIC device has LVP mode, then you need to connect the PGM pin on the PIC to the header and connect the orange programmer line to this header pin. The pull-down resistor on the PGM line must be fitted for LVP to function correctly – see note 5 on diagram. Notes: 1) The LVP enable fuse must be set – in CONFIG4L register. Factory default is LVP enabled.

* Only if selected in check box – see Loading the Programmer section HEX FILE FORMAT FOR PIC18F DEVICES The programmer loads a Microchip format Hex file. This is an extended Intel Hex file with code, data, configuration bytes and user ID included. All PIC tools should follow this format. Each line in the file has this format: :BBAAAATT[DDDDDDDD]CC where : is start of line marker BB is number of data bytes on line AAAA is address in bytes TT is type.

The driver should appear as a "USB Serial Converter" in USB section of Device Manager. Windows should do this automatically.
