This is a board to enable the standard download cable and programming editor to program all chip sizes.
Have developed a circuit and DipTrace PCB layout for a programming board which accepts all PicAxe Chips and has a simple moveable plug to select the approriate chip size to program.
Have it working on a KPIC-2840P prototyping board.
Am happy to put this in the the public domain but would ask that if it is of use to anyone that has board making capabilities that they donate me a board or two as I do not have these capabilities and at this time am not looking to get into that area. (I'm in New Zealand)
The board is 4" x 3-1/4" and is double sided with through holes - no jumpers or vias.
Design allows for plug pack supply to regulator on board using screw terminal or 2.5mm DC plug, or for battery supply.
Design also allows for the enhanced download circuit.
The enhanced download circuit added components can be left off if not wanted, as can the on-off switch and regulator/caps by application of approriate jumpers.
Chip selection is made by moving a 14 pin header plug to one of four 14 pin Header sockets for 08-14, 18, 28, 40 pin chips. The chip to be programmed sits in a 40 pin Aries ZIF socket (picked up from Dontronics in Australia for A$17.50).
