Has any of you build that homemade programmer?

Thanks for the reply 91B4C jacob.

That is the one I was looking at earlier. Is there any other equipment that i need to program chips or this homemade programmer should do it all?

PS. I have a Pentium 486 at home along with some computer knowledge.

Thanks.

I just finished building the one from www.zws.com it wasn't too hard but I haven't tried it yet.

to those who have built their own programmer are the heatsinks on the 7805 voltage regulators supposed to get extremely hot to the touch?

No, but this is from other projects.
You should be able to hang onto it.
heat sinks need mass and area
Does it use a 10 mfd cap on the out?
I generally put a .1 cap on both sides of one, and then a 10 on the circuit side.

Those chips are designed to run hot. I'd say it's normal. Personally I'd go with a 100 qF cap, 10 seems too small.
