Jens, For Completeness, if you are only going to be programming that one single PIC.. and you prefer a socket type programmer, you can still use a good JDM programmer. I have had nothing but good things to say about this programmer, just caveat that newest chips are not going to work.

With regard to the PicKit3, I really would spend a little time comparing the spec between the PicKit2 & PicKit3... If there's not a new feature you need, might save some money. "Some future microcontroller might not be compatible with the PicKit2" is probably not the greatest reason. Unless Microchip drops support for programmers a lot faster than Atmel, I think that you don't have much to worry about there. (Only speculating, though). -Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To post to this group, send an email to neonixi...@googlegroups.com.
