This GAL programmer is controlled via a parallel port, so that any exclusive interface is not requires for the programmer. It is easy to use on the notebook PCs. When program a PIC, a socket converter is needed. After assembly is finished, check if the wiring is correct and then power on. If all right, adjust VR1 to Vcc is 5.25 volts, and VR2 to Vpp is 15.0 volts. PGALCHK.COM is a function check program which checks if programmer works completely or not. The checker program can manipulate each socket pin voltage. Timer test is complete if finished in ten seconds. If not stabled (other pins changed, etc..), I think it is due to ground bounce. Long cable increases this effect. This programmer reducing ground bounce by add C/R to BUSY line. But longer cable can occures any errors. In this case, change to shorter cable or increase resister value R1.

Control programs are DOS based applcations that running on the IBM AT compatibles and NEC PC9800 series. I recommend to run them on the true DOS. But it seems that stable running on the Windows (in DOS window), I think that because it has a timer on the programmer for get control timings. Run pgal.com with a JEDEC file, then a message that request to put a GAL device will displayed. Put a GAL on the socket and type any key, start to program. When the programming was finished with successful, remove the GAL from socket. A 20-pin GAL is put on the socket with adjust GND pin. RIght list shows the devices that confirmed to program. Run pgal.com with /R switch and dislpays a GAL type selection menu. Select a required device, display a message that request to put a GAL. Put a GAL on the socket and then type any key, starts to reading, output fuse data and terminates program. Fuse map is output to console, so that please redirect to a file. Erasing a GAL PGAL /E To erase a GAL, run pgal.com with /E switch. But GAL is erased before program so that this command is not used normaly. Read and Write PIC PICW84.COM is a control program for program to the PIC. Its usage is same as GAL programming. Hex-file format must be INHX8, and it must includes a configuration word.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
