The Raspberry connected to the noppp PIC programmer
This is a circuit diagram and a Linux program for the Raspberry Pi that allows one to connect the Raspberry Pi to the noppp PIC programmer.
Source code is released under the GPL.
It works, that is all I can say about it.

This is Linux programmer software for PIC 18, for Raspberry Pi that works with the noppp programmer
Full source in C, compile it on the Raspberry Pi (NOT on the PC, the Raspberry has an ARM processor!):
jppp18pi-0.1.tgz
jppp18pi-0.1.lsm
Breakout board, buffer board, and par port cable connections,
I added a 74HCT08 quad AND gate as buffer for outgoing signals from the Rapberry Pi,
because the Pi only gives 3.3 V out on the GPIO pins, and the noppp programmer needs 5 V.
I also aded a resistive divider to attenuate the input signal to 3.3V as the Pi is not 5 volt tolerant.
The 74HCT08 is powered from the Pi 5 Volt.
I installed gputils on the Raspberry Pi so I can assemble asm on the Pi, I simply ssh -Y to it,
of course you can use a keyboard, mouse and monitor on it too.
All in one !
