Unique New Field Programmer for the Popular PIC Microcontroller in a Key Fob Package

    /24-7PressRelease.com/ - Aberystwyth, UK, April 10, 2005 - Kanda are specialists in designing and manufacturing tools for electronics engineers. All our tools have the same design philosophy - they must be cost effective and easy to use. Our new Key Fob mini-programmer for the popular PIC microcontroller follows these rules and it is the simplest programmer available. It is ideal for anyone who needs to upgrade products or equipment in the field, regardless of what industry they are in.

The key fob programmer is literally that, as it comes in a car key fob case. This makes it very small, light and portable, as well being really simple. If you can unlock your car, you can use this programmer. Just plug it into a target circuit and press the button. If the light stays green, programming was successful, a red light means there was a problem - what could be easier than that?

The key fob programmer is first loaded from the PC using simple software and a printer port interface. Once it is loaded, it is completely portable and can be used anywhere. To change the data, such as the PIC device type or the file to program, reload it from the PC as many times as needed.

Once loaded, the key fob programmer can be used where it is required, not where there is a PC. This makes it ideal for use in the field or on the production line. If products or systems need upgrading after they are in service or they must be customized on the production line, the key fob programmer is ideal. Due to its simple operation, unskilled operators can use it without making mistakes. So, electronics manufacturers and suppliers can use the key fob programmer to avoid programming errors, utilize unskilled staff or eliminate visits.

Here are a few comments from our customers about the key fob programmer:
"The major benefit of the keyfob programmer is it is easy to use" - Rasmus Bo Jensen, Hamann Electronics, Denmark
"We can upgrade an end user by mailing a keyfob" - Mike Tailor, Denham Security, USA
"Easy to do a field upgrade as it does not need a notebook and programmer" - Ching Chi Fai, C and M Engineering, Hong Kong
"We have sent keyfobs to our non-technical distributors to do upgrades" - Soren Mac Larsen, Semila, Denmark
"Our remote monitoring systems are programmed using a key fob as the skill level of the person doing the programming can be much lower (you can't make a lot of mistakes if you just need to push a button)" - Paul Van Zyl, SDG Technologies, South Africa

The combination of the popular and flexible PIC Microcontroller and the Kanda key fob programmer means that all your field upgrade problems will go away.
