PIC question

[Guest AdamB]

I have an AVR based satalite card with a at90s8515 chip in it. i came accross 1 place that suggested they were compatable, is that true? and if so will the programmer part of the card program the PIC chips i have on order??

BTW, As a student, I am able to order parts as samples. I ordered the PIC16F877-20 (x3) for FREE!!!. I also ordered the PIC16F877A-20 (x3) and was wondering if it would also work, if so i got 6! PIC chips for free...

8)

Thanks..

So where do you get free samples if you are a student?

I order many sample of many IC chip.. I recieve some of them, but not all!!!!

To do this, you go on a manufacter website, and create an account and you can sometimes (with some lie.....!! lol :) ) get sample

[Guest AdamB]

theres a link on the Microchip.com site, right up front..

i didnt get an answer to the more pressing qusetion of the programmer, if someone knows...

Hi,

I tried to order both PICs you got the same way you did (samples) but guess what? They won't ship to Brazil... Only to "selected" countries...

And I still haven't found them in Brazil...

i just got the Fedex package and i open i i gor all 9 chips i ordered. the 6 PIC chips and 3 memory chips for (i hope) banksticks. the chips are  

24AA256            do these have the right mem config to work as banksticks???

and whats the difference between PIC16F877A-20  and PIC16F877-20

thanks all..

Hi Adam,

24AA256 should work, PIC16F877A also - it's just an (compatible) redesign
