Would anyone be able to program a PIC (PIC12C508/9) for me?

As the title suggests, I was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to program a PIC12C508/9 for me if I sent it to them or if you've a spare you don't want/need! Or if you were to source a chip for me too (quicker than me buying a chip from the bay, waiting for it to arrive then sending it to you). Can pay for it of course!
 
I would if I could remember which of the hundreds of boxes in the loft my Elvis Programmer currently resides in.
 
It's a small programmable microchip that can be used for a variety of different things. You need a programmer to burn your code into it however which I don't have!
 
What is the program written in? C, HEX, ASM?
I have a PIC programmer board, MPLAB IDE and a C Compiler. I have a variety of PIC16F chips but sadly no 12 series chips.

It's a hex program. Not sure I can talk about the program here though which is annoying!
 
Have you tried looking on Rapid Electronics? They sell a variety of ready made and cheap PIC programmers and a massive variety of PIC microcontrollers.

I sourced a Velleman VM111 Programmer for £30 and it came with a PIC16F619.
It has its own program utility to burn hex files to the chip.

The program must be a simple one as it's only an 8pin ;)

It wouldn't really be cost effective for me to do that as I only need the one chip doing. I could buy one preburned with said program for about £6 but I'd like to do it as cheaply as possible (I'm a student :p)
 
I'm assuming it's a thingy?

I have a box of them along with my programmer somewhere. But it would take me months to dig it out.

I will neither confirm nor deny since I'm not sure whether we're allowed to talk about it here despite how old the machine is :p

You can't afford £6? :eek:

If you in Croydon area, I'll give you a fiver to wash my car :p
 
Haha, just that I need to get all the other bits too (soldering iron, kynar wire etc) and I've already spent a bit on other bits so I thought I'd ask if anyone would be able to do it cheaper :p Also the one available for purchase is in the US I believe so I'm not sure how long it'd take to get here (and I'm somewhat impatient :p). If I can't get anyone to do it I will just buy the pre-programmed one but I thought it'd be worth a shot at least :)
 
I'll do it.

Cash to my paypal and I will program your pic2394862385 wotsit.

Because I'm a "pro programer". A PROgramer you could say. I basically just rock at programing. I am SO your man for this.

Not saying it will work 100% how you want it to, but if your money is good I'll certainly give it a damn good programming.

Jesus FFS just pay the £6

Students drink more than that in an hour on the average night out. Stop being silly and just pay it.
 
Jeez. I just thought I'd ask if someone had the kit and they'd be willing to do it first. And no, I'm not the raging alcoholic you perceive me to me :rolleyes:

EDIT: Oh and Adam_151 thanks for looking into it anyway :)
 
A student ? not a raging alcoholic ? Never ! :D

Seriously though, just pay the £6

And if its over pride, and you want to do it yourself, just buy a programmer and find more things to use it for when you get it :D
