This is how I made an OOPic programming cable using a
dead mouse that I found at a computer surplus shop. This
particular mouse cost me about 25 cents. |
 |
After opening the mouse, I discovered that it had a 5
pin polarized connector as well as two micro switches, IR
emitters and detectors, diodes, and a few other cool
parts. (I will use those for later projects) |
 |
The 5 pin polarized connector happened to be exact
part needed to plug into the OOPic's 5 pin programming
connection. |
 |
I cut the other end of the cable off, and prepared
the wires for the 25 pin D connector. |
 |
Printed out the programming cable schematic from the
OOPic web page, http://www.oopic.com/progcabl.htm,
and proceeded to add the parts to the 25 pin D connector
as shown in the schematic. |
 |
And there it is. |
