I am looking for an inexpensive programmer to program PICs for a repeater controller. I would also like to program EEPROM's occasionally. I found an universal programmer on Ebay called TOP2004 made by ColdFusionX that is powered from an USB port. It claims to program PIC's, AVR's, and most EEPROMs which are listed. Will it program all the fuses bits on a PIC? Does it use high voltage programming (13V on MCLR/Vpp pin)? Does anyone have any experience with this programmer?
Join the list at piclist.com and you'll find there's a million possibilities for programmers. And there's also a million incompatibilities depending on which specific PIC's you wish to program. Best to ask a PIC-specific mailing list, not this one. Olin Lathrop on the list sells a nice programmer cheap, and he's a heck of a lot better engineer than most folks making cheap programmers. He also sells a commercial programmer, so you can tell he's done his homework. http://www.embedinc.com/products/index.htm Nate WY0X
