Modification af BR870 til thru-pic / thru84

Ludpipo, UniprogIV, and BR870 without switches

To use for "write-thru", it is necessary to run a program on the pic16x84. To be able to run this program, the pic16x84 needs +5V on /MCLR, so an additional switch is added (run switch).

As an extra precaution I have added additonal 5V1 zenerdiodes
on RB7 and OSC1 (not showed above).

If your computers serial interface does not supply voltages near +/- 12V, 
the LED may be omitted. 

BR870 - PCB component side

Connect an extra "run" switch as shown:

Actually temporarly just connecting the two points will do the job, adding an extra switch to the board is just for convenience.
