MiniPro TL866 Community Wiki
NOTE: imported from minipro wiki
This wiki is dedicated to gathering information about the AutoElectrics MiniPro TL866 programmer.
What is MiniPro TL866?
MiniPro TL866 is a universal EEPROM, FLASH, 8051, AVR, MCU, GAL, PIC, SPI chip programmer supporting around 13,000 chips. See Supported_chips
There're two version of the TL866 programmer, the TL866A with ICSP header and TL866CS without ICSP. See TL866_Differences.
This wiki is very much work in progress, any help and feedback would be very appreciated!
Table of Contents:
- Tl866 supported chips
- Tl866 unofficially supported chips
- Tl866 sellers
- Hardware
- Software
Difference between TL866A and TL866CS
TL866A has the ICSP header and TL866CS does not, otherwise the devices are physically the same. The TL866CS is also factory programmed to not use the ICSP header.
This means that TL866A supports (in addition to all the chips TL866CS supports):
- Microchip ICSP support for some chips (in circuit programming)
- ICSP support for ATmega and SYNCMOS MCU SM89xxx SM59xxx (in circuit programming)
- AT45DBxxxx ICSP, programmable only on TL866A
Counterfeit programmers
There have been reports of a counterfeit version of the tl866 out of aliexpress. If you end up with one of these the official software will detect it and erase the contents of the PIC onboard. It is theorized that the detection is due to sloppy piracy resulting in the serial number of all the fakes being the same. To restore your device you now need to go though the operation to upgrade it to a tl866a.
ICSP
ICSP connections are usually deductible from the MiniPro software.
You select the chip, click the ICSP programming option (if available) and then the Information button. This will display a image with the appropriate connections.
The images are also available in the img directory in your MiniPro directory
