Note: The Field Programmer requires a memory card
with the FAT16 file system. Only cards in the capacity range of
64M to 2G are compatible.
This is the UPDATED 2018 Field Programmer!
This updated version still has all the same great features as our previous Field
Programmer and now includes a USB input for power! When power is not available
from the target board, the Field Programmer (and the target) may be powered by
a USB 5V source through a USB micro adapter (phone charger). This allows the
Field Programmer to be used for production programming, supplying power to each
target in turn. An internal 3.3V regulator makes the voltage switch-selectable
for 5V or 3.3V.
All the features of our PC-based programmers can now be
carried in the palm of your hand! Use the familiar
ME Labs 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!
When power is not available from the target board, the Field Programmer
(and the target) may be powered by a USB 5V (or 3.3V) source through a USB micro
adapter (phone charger). (No need for the old Power Adapter!)
More than 700 PIC microcontrollers are supported!
Support for future devices can be added via FLASH
firmware updates.
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.
Software: The programmer includes software for Windows
Vista/7/8/10. 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", or PBP.
The same software that controls the melabs Field
Programmer can be used with all models of our programmers,
including melabs U2 Programmer.
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.
