I've been very happy with this universal programmer. It programs just about all 8 and 16-bit PICs.
The company updates is list of currently-supported chips quite frequently. http://cgi.ebay.com/IC-MCU-EEPROM-FLASH-Universal-Programmer-High-Speed-/330 399398361?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ced56b9d9#ht_2569wt_835 -----Original Message----- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixi...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jens Boos Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 1:24 PM To: neonixie-l Subject: [neonixie-l] OT: new PIC Programmer Hello folks, well, I have had it with my crappy Velleman PIC "programmer" board. It is just not working reliable anymore. It is a RS232 connected board with some DIP sockets mounted on top, and it is supplied with a rather crappy programming software. Anyway, it has been saying "No Device ID received!" so much today that I am considering tossing it into the trash. But what is a suitable alternative? I think the PicStart Plus might be something reasonable. It is no third party product, it nicely fits into MPLAB, the only problem is the serial RS232 interface. See here: http://www.microchipdirect.com/ProductSearch.aspx?Keywords=DV003001 What do you guys suggest? I am doing this as a hobby, so I do not need something too fancy (neither could I afford it as a student). I am using the PIC16F627A for all my projects at the moment, but I think this decvice is supported by all MicroChip programmers. Can you recommend a programmer? Maybe based on USB? Happy for your input. Best whishes, Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
