Hi, im wondering if it is possible to programme a standard 18 pin pic chip placed in a pre made picaxe project board(the ones available from rev-ed) without removing it from the circuit and using the serial download cable. Will it be possible to programme the pic without making the modifications to the board that are stated in the spec sheet pdf.
Also, will a pic behave in the same way when substituted for a picaxe (assuming the modifications have been made) and when blasted with exactly the same basic code and can the same sofware be used. (the picaxe programmer software)
Will settings need to be changed?
I am wondering this as I have a picaxe circuit that must be working (A-level standard) therefore if I blow the chip,which i have done before, and dont have a replacement, then will a pic chip easily take my picaxe's place without much bother.
And yes I could just order some spare.
Thanks
