Proto-40

PICmicro Prototype Board - Technical Notes

The Proto-40 PICmicro Prototype Board is extremely versatile. With all the possibilities of using the board, some technical options are identified which enable the prototype board to be used with various other hardware/software product. When we are notified or determine these options, they will be published here.

In-Circuit Programming with the WARP-13
The WARP13 PIC Micro Programmer from Newfound Electronics (www.newfoundelectronics.com) is one of the best programmers available. Some users have reported problems when using the ICP (In-Circuit Programmer) port of the WARP-13 with the Proto-40 board.

After some testing, we have determined that by changing resistor R1 on the Proto-40 from its normal value of 1K-ohm to a value of 470ohms will allow the WARP-13 to control the programming port of the Proto-40.
