I am pulling out some old hobbies as I reach retirement age. I have a box of legacy PIC microcontollers and I want information about current programmers. The chips I have are in the following families:
16C55-HS/P
16c57/JW
17c42-25/JW
16C54/JW
I still have my old ultraviolet eraser but I can no longer find the programmer I once used. Do the modern programmers work with the legacy microcontrollers? If I pull these out it will be a hobby and not a production environment. Is it even worth while to purchase a programmer for these microcontrollers or would I be money ahead to toss them in the trash and buy a few modern chips? Keep in mind the hobby level – I won't be making anything earth shaking in any event. I will probably build a few robotic devices to amuse myself.
