Tormach Released Control Baoard Schematics and Firmware Still Waiting VFD Files!

Thanks !!
Great to see you are feeling better.
Have you ever used the "MPLAB PM3 Universal Programmer" ?

Yep I used to own one dumped the slant lathe pic the 1st day I got the board LOL. I really do not like the microchip studio the Xeltek is much better programmer. I do device programming as a part of my business.




I have owned many Xeltek programmers, Currently down to just the 6100N, 5000E, and 3000U. (Old Photo)

That's a nice set up !!
I am waiting to hear back from Microchip about the "MPLAB PM3" . It would be nice to have a decent emulator for the PIC Micros.

Much better than me, Can see your desk much more so than you can see mine, and you're a Hakko Fan as am I and as a mater of fact the hot air station looks like the one I had before moving the Quick 861. Though for Chip Programming I one have the T56

I am going over the schematic and may make these changes:
1. Change the LM25575 to reduce the part count.
2.  Add DB 25 to input, from 5i25 / 6i25.
3.  Make all unused pins on J4 available.

I am currently running the Quick TR1300A and the TR1100
