You should be able to program it
But reading it you have to ask someone else
Hello,
not sure if this is in the right section..
I currently have a chip i need to copy as the identical chip has burnt out in my other devices.
Is it possible to purchase blank chips and copy my working chip?
The chip is a PIC16F877-04/P
Can I place my working chip into a PIC Programmer () with 40pin adaptor () ?
Read the chip's content and then copy it onto the several blank chips i have?
Could someone please confirm if my chip (PIC16F877-04/P) can be read/burnt with the above hardware?
Also if i completely fail, is there any businesses/people who can copy the chip at a small cost?
Thanks!
Patrick

When you do things right, people won't be sure that you have done anything at all
what device is the chip from, if it is copy protectected, then you will find it difficult.
hmm so you can have copy protection on chips..this just makes things more complex haha.
The chip is off a temperature controller for plastic moulding. Due to the heat the controllers are around, the chip tends to burn out. Hence would like to copy another chip and slot it back into the burnt out controllers...
The 16F877 (and all pics for that matter) do have a code protection bit within its configuration registers. As long as this wasn't set when the pic was flashed (and your original device hasn't been damaged) you should be able to read and duplicate it.
I would instead try and resolve the issue of the failing component.
I think it was mentioned that the failure was due to "being too close to the heat"
chip, burnout
