  • Reads Files from SD/MMC Cards
  • RoHS compliant (lead-free)
  • Quantity Pricing Available
 

All the features of our PC-based programmers can now be carried in the palm of your hand!  Use the familiar melabs Programmer software to create a memory card with option settings, configuration data, and program code.  Slip the memory card into the melabs Field Programmer and you're good to go - anywhere!

The Field Programmer draws power from the target board via the in-circuit programming connector.  See the Field Programmer ICSP page for details.

A power adapter is available for production programming using any of our extensive line of programming adapters.

More than 500 PIC microcontrollers are supported!  Support for future devices can be added via FLASH firmware updates. 


Choose from the following programmer packages.  All programmer packages include Windows software.  (Click on the images for a larger view.)

Power Adapter for melabs Field Programmer - $24.95  This adapter accepts power input from a wall adapter and converts it to regulated voltage that is suitable for powering the Field Programmer.  Resistors can be installed to reduce the 5-volt output to a lower level that is safe for low-voltage targets.   See our online store for quantity discounts.

Programming Adapters:  We offer an extensive line of programming adapters that allow you to program devices in DIP, Surface Mount, and PLCC packages.  To find an adapter to fit the part/package that you need to program, see our Programming Adapters section.  In order to use the melabs Field Programmer with a programming adapter, you must connect the Power Adapter for melabs Field Programmer.
 

In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP):  The melabs Field Programmer is designed to program PIC MCUs in-circuit.  To use this feature, your target board must have some means of connecting to the 10-pin header on the programmer.  If the ICSP connection on the target board does not have a connection to power, the melabs Field Programmer Power Adapter is required.
 
Software:  The programmer includes software for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista.  This software is identical to that which runs all melabs programmers.  The melabs Field Programmer requires a special file to be stored on a memory card.  The software allows you to open a standard-format hex file, set options and configuration, then create the field programmer file and save it.

The melabs programmer software is compatible with the standard Microchip HEX format files.  Any assembler or compiler for PICmicros can be used to create the program, including MPASM, "C", PICBASIC™, or PICBASIC PRO™.

The same software that controls the melabs Field Programmer can be used with all models of our programmers, including EPIC parallel port programmers and melabs U2 Programmer.  The software can even control multiple programmers on one computer.

The software allows you to set configuration bits on the PIC with an easy-to-use list of options.  Each configuration option is selectable in a drop-down list.  Configuration data may be read from a hex file or from a PIC.

The consolidated view-memory window lets you view each section of memory in the PIC with a click.

A formidable list of options allow you to customize the function of the programmer.  You control what areas of the device are erased, programmed, and verified.  All applicable options are saved with the field programmer file on the memory card.

The programmer's firmware can be upgraded electronically via the memory card.  You don't have to worry about whether your hardware is compatible when purchasing a software upgrade.  Any required firmware changes will be included in the purchased upgrade.

Current device support, melabs Field Programmer:

See special notes for low-voltage PIC MCUs with "J" or "K" in their part numbers.

Many of the PICmicro devices that follow require special programming adapters.  A few of these devices can only be programmed in-circuit.  See the Adapters section to find the adapter that matches the specific part and package that you are using.
