This application was created in Lazarus on Windows (and in the future for linux distros too) with the aim to help to program 8-bit PIC devices more easily from serial port through AVR (Arduino), which it is low cost and also very available. It's a user interface to the executable a-p-prog and needs some files of that project to work (see more below).
Use at your own risk, WE DO NOT PROVIDE GUARANTEE of any kind of malfunction or damage of devices.
- Arduino Nano;
- Arduino Uno;
- Arduino Mega 2560;
- And some "knock-off boards".
- 8-bit processors;
- Flash program memory;
- Programming Voltage of 5 volts on MCLR pin.

Before anything, you must setup your hardware. Click here to see how;
You need to upload this sketch to Arduino;
Within the same folder of "PicuinoProgrammer.exe" must have a folder called "MicroProgmeter" and inside of it must have the following files:
Run "PicuinoProgrammer.exe". Now all you have to do is: search your hex file, select your target device, COM port and click in "Program PIC Device".
We would apreciate any help, suggestion and bug report. Thanks a lot for using this solution.
