Can anyone recommend a pic programmer?

Former Member
Former Member over 15 years ago

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.

    Hi Chris, A PIC is a brand of microcontroller. You can think of microcontrollers as stripped down PCs. They have memory, the have I/O, peripherals, and an instruction set just like a normal computer would…

    I agree that the PIcKit2 is best value for the money - previsiouly i used ICD2 (now replaced with ICD3) that gives much more debugging options, but in most cases the PicKit2 does the job and as long you stick to assambler it easy to debugg anyway.

    Hi,

     

    There is also the Pickit3 . It's advantage is that it can also program AND debug high end PIC32.

     

    Both are compatible with MPLAB & MPLAB X (Linux, MAC or Windows) in native mode, operating on Netbeans JAVA platform ;=)

    The MPLAB X beta 5 version is public and released since 1 week.

     

    Regards
