CCS introduces the latest
additions to their programmer
product line: Load-n-Go Handheld
Programmer and PRIME8 In-Circuit
Gang Production Programmer.
The exploding popularity of
Microchip PIC®MCUs used in a
variety of small electronics products
has driven the need for an easy to
use, low-cost, flexible production
grade programmer. CCS has
developed a ICSP™ handheld
programmer, Load-n-Go, and PRIME8,
a production In-Circuit Serial
Programmer™ for PIC10, PIC12,
PIC14, PIC16, PIC18, and PIC24
MCUs, as well as dsPIC® DSCs.
The Load-n-Go is intended for
use where a PC is not available or
convenient. Running on four AA
batteries, Load-n-Go is ideal for programming on the go and can also be
powered via USB or 9V AC adapter.
Up to four unique firmware versions
can be saved to Load-n-Go, each with
a corresponding button to allow for
quick and seamless programming of
multiple targets. The device also
offers 2 MB Flash for storing up to
four separate programs of 2 MB or
less and a status LED to alert the user
to an upload pass or fail. In addition,
Load-n-Go comes equipped with easy
to use Programmer Control software
and can be used as a debugger with
CCS IDE compilers.
The efficient PRIME8 has eight
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ jacks
which enable high volume device
programming by allowing up to eight
targets to be programmed at once or
individual targets to be selected. Nontechnical users will find the PRIME8
to be user-friendly with an LCD menu
and control buttons standard on
PRIME8 for stand-alone use. Additional
features include verification of
program status, enable individual
targets, read the device ID, and serial
numbering. The flexibility of PRIME8
allows for use of an SD card to eliminate the need for a PC at the point of
programming. A user can access HEX
files on an SD card or from the 2 MB
of internal memory. In addition,
PRIME8 includes CSS Programmer
Control software that allows the user
to quickly step through the process of
loading firmware, configuring target
voltage and more.

STRESS-FREE
EPOXY
Duralco 125 “Stress Free” epoxy
forms a flexible, electrically
conductive bond for continuous use
to 400ºF. It is ideal for manufacturing
and repairing of flexible circuits,
solder replacement, bonding
semi-conductors, EMI shielding,
thermistors, wire tacking, heating
elements, assembling, electronics,
etc. Duralco 125 offers 400ºF service
and provides electrical conductivity,
high bond strength; thermal and
mechanical shock resistance,
adhesion to dissimilar substrates, and
chemical resistance. The hand-held
applicator dispenses with pinpoint
accuracy the exact mixture epoxy that
cures at room temperature ( 16-24 hrs.
@ 75ºF; 20 min. 200ºF) with no
objectionable odors. The applicator
eliminates mixing, measuring, excess
waste, and messy clean up, saving
time and money.
The silver based Duralco 125
conductive epoxy bonds to glass,
ceramics, plastics, and dissimilar
materials and with excellent adhesion
to metals including steel, stainless,
aluminum, and lead. Epoxy is resistant
to moisture, chemicals, and solvents.

Hydraficient announces the
availability of the Hydraficient
Water Fuel Cell Kit, a safe and all-inclusive HHO generator that enables
equipped vehicles to improve gas
efficiency by more than 25 percent
and decrease emissions by as much
as 50 percent, all without the use of
additives or significant electricity
requirements.
The kit is powered by a patented
electrode technology that uses
electricity from the vehicle’s
alternator to separate water into its
molecular form. The simple gases
