Tutorial - Beginning Embedded Electronics - 2 | about 3 years ago
Will the serial programmer(PGM-00014 & CAB-00065) work the same as the parallel one(PGM-00013 & CAB-00064)? The tutorial gives makefile settings for both but the parts package has the parallel port version. Also, is the programmer anything more than wires directly from pin to pin? Can I just connect the wires directly without the programmer?
My other question is about the power supply. Would a 9v battery work better to reduce noise? If it would work, can I just replace the barrel with it and not change anything else? How long would the battery last?
Thank you for your help in advance, I’m new and trying to get started as cheap as I can :)
