Can anyone recommend a pic programmer?

Former Member

Hi all,

 

I am new to electronics so I am looking for a good cheap Pic Programmer hardware.

 

Any recommendations?

 

If you are sending on links please make sure that the items are in Ireland or the UK.

 

Cheers,

Chris.

  • the pickit 2 is well worth the money, if you want to program high end pics like the pic32 you will need the pickit 3, we use pic32 here for development and use the ICD3 its faultless, but costs a fortune....

    all the pic deivces use ICSP even the pic32, altough the pic32 does multiplex the ICSP onto the JTAG port and microchip at this stage do not support JTAG???, you can build a simple programmer with minimal fuss, microchip give full spec datasheets for ICSP on the website

     

    if you are looking to program other micrs, there is an intersting project at http://www.embedded-projects.net/index.php?page_id=165 i have one of these pre assembled, it can be a bit tricky to get going but it works well after the inital setup is complete

    cheers
