<< Kicad >>
Kicad is an open source (GPL) software for the creation of electronic schematic diagrams and printed circuit board artwork.
Since this is an open source project, lots of volunteers are helping to make the program even better. For instance, libraries are added by many different people.
KiCAD itself is a kind of "manager" application, which is on top of 4 other (sub)applications:
-
EeSchema:
- This is the "base application" of the whole tool chain. With this application, you start to draw your schematics, using the standard libraries/symbols/components or using your own-made ones.
-
CVPcb:
This application assigns to each and every component a footprint. The result of this will be stored in a net list, which will be used by the next program, PcbNew, to create the PCB.
The net list contains not only the connections between the different components and components and their value, but also their shape.
For instance: a 16-pins IC (DIL format) needs a 16dip300 footprint. -
PcbNew:
Once you've drawn your design using EeSchema, you may want to create a final PCB out of it. At that moment, PcbNew comes into the picture. This application will transform your paper design into a real PCB. -
GerbViewer:
Finally, once the PCB is ready, you can verify the result of the PCB using the build-in Gerber viewer. This is very useful, because you can check everything before sending your design to a PCB manufacturer for production.

<< Crocodile technology >>
Electronic circuits in schools and industry are normally manufactured through the use of PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). The boards are made from glass reinforced plastic with copper tracks in the place of wires. Components are fixed in position by drilling holes through the board, locating the components and then soldering them in place. The copper tracks link the components together forming a circuit. The animation shows the components arranged on the 'component side' of the PCB and as it rotates, the copper tracks are also shown.
The two diagrams below show the track side of a PCB (normally the underneath side) and the component side (normally the top side) of the same circuit. The relay and integrated circuit are ready to be placed in position and soldered.

<<CardWriter >>
Windows program for gold wafer, Green Card, Silver Card, Funcard, Jupiter, Pic,
etc.
for Maestro, etc. MultiMouse smartcard programmer via RS232 (Com port).
ChipCat was developed specially for the programming by Smartcards with passive programers. In the present version the following tickets(maps) can be programmed:
Wafercard with PIC 16F84 and EEPROM 24C16 (Twostone-Wafercard)
AVR-Yupiter-Card with AT90S2323 and EEPROM 24C16 (Twostone AVR)
AVR-Yupiter-Card with AT90S2343 and EEPROM 24C16
Funcard with AT90S8515 and EEPROM 24C64 (Twostone-Funcard)
Jupiter 2 Card with AT90S8535 and EEPROM 24C64
ChipCat cooperates with a lot of passive Programmern. Presupposition are all passive Programmers which have
AVR-and PIC-procedure. In addition still 3.5 or 6.0 Mhz Mouse must be existing. Both can be in a device or be connected in separated COM-interfaces.
Were tested: MasterCRD, AVR-Mouse, Multiprog Quadro, in 2001, 2001 XL, Card-maestro. Naturally also function a row other Programmer, I have not tested them(it), however, and therefore can give
also no functional guarantee for it. Does not function with Multiprog in 2000.
With ChipCat describing the EEPROMs on the Smartcards goes very simple. Simply file for the controller [1] and the EEPROM [2] select, and program. Which procedure must be put with the
Programmer, is indicated by ChipCat. Also choices of the EEPROM are possible, however, in this connection, the original content of the controller is headed. ChipCat has firmly inserted a
fitting Loader for every supported Smartcard-type. An external Loader is not necessary.
ChipCat can invite for the EEPROM .hex.bin and .crd-files. Unfortunately, there is with .crd-files no uniform (standardized) format, so that ChipCat tries independently to determine the fitting
format. If the format of the file should not unambiguously be recognizable, the file can not be loaded. Weights You with the producer of this file... Not with me.
I don't want to give here any manual for "Dummies" how anybody programs a ticket(map) quickly. I think, all should experiment by find out how it functions. Only so You can learn from Your own
mistakes.

<<Winpic Programmer>>
This is a simple program for Win95/98/XP to program the PIC firmware from a HEX-file (the type generated by
Microchip's MPLABTM) into a PIC microcontroller. Most modern PICs (like the PIC16F84, 16F628, 12F675, dsPIC30Fxxxx) can be reprogrammed many times,
because the program can be erased electrically (the code is stored in a FLASH, not a simple ROM). Some of the "very simple" programmer interfaces can be used, a few of them are described in the
manual.
Originally I wrote this program for myself to get the PIC-keyer firmware into a PIC16F84, after discovering that the once-famous DOS program called "PIP-02" refused to work under
windoze.
Features
-
serial interface: compatible to the "COM84", "JDM", and user-defined
Most interfaces for the COM-port should work without a special port-access driver, and may even work with USB<->RS-232 adapters now !
- parallel interface: compatible with SM6LKM's "PIP84"-interface, check Johan's
- many other interfaces can be driven with a simple interface definition file (see manual)
- exotic interfaces can be supported through a specialized hardware-interface DLL (plugin)
- possibility to verify the PIC at different voltages (almost "production grade")
- requires a PC with WIN95, Win98, Win XP (Win NT 4.0 and Win2000 not tested)
- Code memory size now up to 8192 words, data EEPROM memory up to 256 byte.
- Code and data memory may be programmed separately
- Bulk erase ("erase all") or individual programming of all bytes present in from HEX-file
- Built-in "hex editor" for quick patches in code or data EEPROM memory
- Invocation with command line arguments is possible, so you can run WinPic from a shell
- Extra window with "Reload & program" function (always in front of others)
- WinPic now also supports JDM PIC-programmer 2, Velleman K8048, the Hoodmicro, the Willem interface, El Cheapo, and many others. The only(?) interfaces which WinPic doesn't support are Microchip's "PicStart plus" (far too expensive) and "PicKit2" .
- Thanks to various collaborators, a French, Greek, Portugese, Spanish, and Turkish translation of WinPic's user interface is available. All languages are now contained in the installer (no need to download anything separately)
- Besides SMPORT, the PortTalk driver can be used. It proved to be faster under WinXP, especially when programming larger PICs (dsPIC and PIC18F).
Supported PIC microcontrollers
- dsPIC30F2010 (theoretically ALL dsPIC30F devices supported, a few tested)

Features:
- PICDIS is useful if your Toolkit or compiler does not include a PIC disassembler or if you simply prefer command-line tools.
- Recovery of code where compiler tools or processor(s) are obsolete or no longer available. Instead of going through the trouble of re-installing your older programming tools, PICDIS is self contained and may probably recover what you are looking for quicker.
- DOS 3.3 based for (lowest common denominator operation). This allows you to run PICDIS (or PICDIS) on various DOS compatible operating systems including MSDOS 3.3 or higher, DRDOS, OS/2 DOS, Windows command-line shell, FreeDOS, Linux DOS emulator, and likely other DOS compatible environments. (Try PICDIS first and if PICDIS-LITE works, then so will PICDIS).
- Additional Linux X86 version for those of you running Linux. This runs exactly like the DOS version.
- All operations are done in RAM for speed (PICDIS is limited to 2048 x 16 values in memory).
- Default disassembler, default 16-bit operation.
- Rule and boundary checks for listed PICs.
- You can import and merge several HEX format file types. These are automatically sensed on input and include several versions of Intel Hex, several of Motorola type S-record, Emon, FPB, Tektronix, PASM and Atmel.
- You can import HEX format file types which may be of odd start locations or long lengths which can cause problems for some chip programmers, file editors or readers.
- Import HEX files byte-wise of Big or Little-endian types.
- PICDIS is batch or script friendly since it can be used with standard input, output, pipes and returns error codes for recognized errors.
Professional Developers may wish to review PICDIS first before deciding to Buy PICDIS.
Picinit is a utility which is addressed to those which program the PIC 16F84A microcontrollers in assembler language, with Microchip MPLAB IDE.
