Will the PIC programmer in the lab program a PICxxx?
Probably. The PIC programmer is a simple serial-connection (via the PC’s parallel port) programmer that has five connections to each PIC. The connections are +5V, GND, ~MCLR, DATA, and CLK. You can find which pins these programmer wires must be connected to from the microchip datasheets (available from the http://www.microchip.com/ webpage. The list of PICs the programmer can program includes: PIC12C5xx, PIC14000, PIC16C554, PIC16C556, PIC16C558, PIC16C61, PIC16C62, PIC16C62A, PIC16CR62, PIC16C63, PIC16C64, PIC16C64A, PIC16CR64, PIC16C65, PIC16C65A, PIC16C66, PIC16C67, PIC16C620, PIC16C621, PIC16C622, PIC16C710, PIC16C71, PIC16C711, PIC16C72, PIC16C73, PIC16C73A, PIC16C74, PIC16C74A, PIC16C76, PIC16C77, PIC16F83, PIC16CR83, PIC16C84, PIC16F84, PIC16CR84, PIC16C923, PIC16C924, PIC16C642, PIC16C662, PIC16C715.
