USB PIC PROGRAMMER

This documentation was written March 14, 2004. COM3 so when MicroPro first runs you must set the Port
to 3. (File/Port.)
This is the third in a series of three PIC Programmers
designed by Tony Nixon. Most of the components – Change. The reality is that USB drivers, K150 firmware
resistors, some capacitors, transistors and two ICs – are and the K150 User Interface software MicroPro.exe are
surface mount and are presoldered on the board. There are being upgraded almost every month as new PICs are
