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!

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
