However, if you are going to be doing a lot of programming you really need a 40 pin ZIF socket. For the latest information look at COMPONENTS 1N4004 1 1N4148 1 6.000mHz 49/US pack1 7805 1 10uF/25V ecap 1 47uF/25V ecap 1 Power jack 1 USB 'B' female connector 1 3mm red LED 1 3mm green LED 1 Rubber feet 4 6 pin header 1 6 pin harness 1 18 pin IC socket 1 programmed PIC16F628 (-20/P or 628A) 1 40 pin IC socket 1 K150 PCB with surface mount components 1 We have provided a 40 pin IC socket with this kit. The reality is that USB drivers, K150 firmware and the K150 User Interface software MicroPro.exe are being upgraded almost every month as new PICs are added and improvements made. At this time they can be found at COM3 so when MicroPro first runs you must set the Port to 3. You will need to download and install USB drivers from Now these drivers are being updated about every month. After you have the kit working then you can download the latest version, upgrade the firmware and run with the latest MicroPro.exe. NOTE: if you log onto this site and find a later version of diypack.zip then make sure you download diypack22.zip and not the latest version. The programmed firmware in this kit contains the k150.hex file which is in the folder. Download diypack22.zip from Unzip and run setup.exe. You will need to buy a standard A-B USB cable to connect from your PC to K150. The USB connector is a standard ‘B’ type. Make sure the crystal is mounted 2-3mm above the PCB so the case cannot make contact with the pads on the top layer or the R19 resistor.
Solder the lowest height thru-hole components first.
But some thru-hole components have been left for the buyer to solder. Most components – resistors, transistors and 2 Ics - are already presoldered onto the PCB. Color photos of the assembled Kit can be found at The photos are with an optional ZIF socket. There are 14 through-hole components for the buyer to solder. Most of the components – resistors, some capacitors, transistors and two ICs – are surface mount and are presoldered on the board. USB PIC PROGRAMMER This is the third in a series of three PIC Programmers designed by Tony Nixon. This documentation was written August 25, 2004.
