DIY- PIC JDM Programmer

This is DIY project that you can be easily constructed in your home and is a very good stuff for starter for learning PIC programming. The PICs, which I successfully programmed and verified, are PIC12F629, PIC12F675, PIC16F627, PIC16F628, PIC16F630, PIC16F676, PIC16F818, PIC16F819, PIC16F84A, PIC16F873, PIC16F877A, PIC18F2320, PIC18F452. This PIC programmer does not support all PIC MCUs. (PIC16C5x is not programmable with this programmer, but using an adapter, the 20 pin PIC 16C770/771 can be programmed. 

Before you build this "PIC programmer", it is recommended to check to see if there is enough output voltage at the serial port your personal computer. If TxD, DTR, and RTS do not have more than +7.5V (or -7.5V), this programmer will not work well, especially, with the latest laptop computers that using low power RS232 interface ICs. of
