(I've used the words errors instead of bugs because I've seen Kyle is very sensitive to this word...and because probably are only from my fault or weird use of the programming language). However I'm probably the only one which I can't say I'm programming for (too much) fun. I'm designing PCB and soldering for fun, make a board running for fun, but not programming. > > > I can't follow your logic now.

Anyway, except the microcontroller based programmers, none of the cheap and dirty one from the web does work with simple USB to serial conversion. As long it doesn't, manufacturing a pickit2 clone is much easier than buying one USB/RS232 converter and one programmer... > In most cases, > you need the adapter only when developing and not within the actual > application, just like the programmer. > The saving might not be worth it for you, but for others it may be. > After all, the FTDI chip is equally expensive as the pic. There are chinese clone to this IC and many other similar versions, is not the only one.

Stacking one board to another and another on top of those two, without the choice of being able to measure something on the boards without separate them...a board having nothing on it except the microcontroler supply and some silly conectors. > > > I didn't see any crisis in Netherland... > Only one bank got bankrupt and business is slow, but I guess we > shouldn't complain. > > Joep > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "jallib" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<jallib%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/jallib?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
