Unique New Programmer for the Popular PIC Microcontroller in a Key Fob Package
Kanda have released a key fob programmer to support the PIC microcontroller range. This programmer uses “One button operation”, which means that it is ideal for unskilled operators to do In System Programming. This simplifies field updates of your products or systems and gives you flexibility on the production line.
(PRWEB) April 7, 2005 -- Kanda are specialists in designing and manufacturing
tools for electronics engineers. All our tools have the same design philosophy –
they must be cost effective and easy to use. Our new Key Fob mini-programmer for
the popular PIC microcontroller follows these rules and it is the simplest
programmer available.
The key fob programmer is literally that, as it
comes in a car key fob case. This makes it very small, light and portable, as
well being really simple. If you can unlock your car, you can use this
programmer. All you have to do is plug it into a target circuit and press the
button. If the light stays green, programming was successful, a red light means
there was a problem – what could be easier than that?
The key fob
programmer is first loaded from the PC using simple software and a printer port
interface. Once it is loaded, it is completely portable and can be used
anywhere. To change your data, such as the PIC device type or the file to
program, just reload it from the PC as many times as you like.
Once
loaded, the key fob programmer can be used where you want, not where you have a
PC. This makes it ideal for use in the field or on the production line. If you
need to upgrade your products or systems after they are in service or customize
them on the production line, the key fob programmer is ideal. Due to its simple
operation, unskilled operators can use it without making mistakes. So, if you
don’t want programming errors, you don’t have skilled staff or you don’t want to
go on a visit, the key fob programmer provides the answer.
Here are a few
comments from our customers about the key fob programmer:
“I use it for easy
field upgrades on our electronic control project”
“We use the keyfob on our
production line to avoid having a PC on the line.”
“We can upgrade an end
user by mailing a keyfob.”
“Our remote monitoring systems are programmed
using a key fob as the skill level of the person doing the programming can be
much lower (you can’t make a lot of mistakes if you just need to push a
button).”
