All hardware needed to get the chip to work?

Post by Matthew »

I understand I would need the FV1 chip, EEPROM chip and a PCB to put it all on, but what would I need to hook up the EEPROM to my computer, write code to it, etc?

Any links to the cheapest things too would be much appreciated!

Thanks a lot :D

PicKit 2 is what I use. They are $29.99 and can be bought through almost any electronics supplier or direct from microchip.com.

Any programmer that can program a 24LC32A and read an Intel HEX file format.

Any chance you could point me towards the $29.99 one? I'm finding a lot of different kits that have various odds and ends and I'm not totally sure what I actually need. Thank you!

Ugh, sorry to bring up this topic again, but I'm really not 100% sure what all I need for this :( I found a lot of stuff on ebay, but it is pretty missleading.

Well, the info is above. A programmer that can program a 24LC32A from an Intel hex format file. There are a lot out there, you just need to choose one. If you plan to program other devices later (PIC, 8051 family, etc.) get one that programs those as well.
