Re: [N8VEM-S100:7670] Re: PIC32 Ascii Terminal

ASCII Terminal board

Just a note... The MCP1700-3.3 voltage regulator is a bit hard to find in ones junk box.. and its only rated at MAX Vin of 6V

You can use a 78L33 if your careful of the pin-out, only a slight rotation of the pins make this a viable option. Its also rated at a Vin of 30V, but be sure to watch thermal ratings at large Vin.

Look at data sheets for both part to validate pin rotation...

David -

Jim Orchard is also in the UK (at least by his email address).

I purchased this PICkit3, but would tell you the ZIF board included was useless with the PIC32 (at least I couldn't get it working and there was Zero documentation). The ICSP cable worked fine with a breadboard.

A bunch of vendors in Hong Kong or China have them for less than $15

I used the PICkit3 "Header with self power supply" on this site for actually burning. I just set it up on a temporary breadboard and used an LM317 circuit and 9V battery.

Again, happy to burn them and include them in a shipment to Jim if he's ok with that.

Hi Gary,

good point,
can you post a link to the programmer you purchased on ebay ?

Also, I think I might be the only one in the UK
