FEATURES:
- PIC-PG1 is programmer based on JDM design which takes all necessary signals and power supply from RS232 serial port. It uses 6 pin 0.1" step ICSP connector to connect to target board with the PIC microcontroller.
- The supported devices depend on the current version of ICPROG software.
- Dimensions 50x30 mm (1.95x1.2") + 30 cm (12") cable

- NOTE: The programmer may not work with low power serial interfaces - i.e. laptop or notebook serial ports. USB to serial cables have also not been proven to work.
SOFTWARE:
- ICPROG from Bonny Gijzen freeware for programming many PICs, sometimes it doesn't work on some computers read here why.
- PICPgm freeware PIC programming software by Christian Stadler supports many PICs and is officially supporting our PIC-PG1/2 and PIC-PG3
- WinPIC - Great new software by Wolfgang "Wolf" Bnscher. Supports all the popular flash PICs, as well as many of the newly released PICs! Use this software for support for the 16F628A, 16F87, and 16F88.
- WinPIC in Japanese version
- Programming PIC in Linux
Q: My computer have no RS232. Can I use USB to RS232 converter with PIC-PG1?
A: No, the USB to RS232 converters add delay due to USB nature and this will mess up the programming timing. If you want USB programmer consider PIC-ICD2-POCKET.
