Thanks

I had a quick look at the Software. 16F84 & 88 not listed. Poor translation to English a bit of a worry

I was after advice on ones people have actually used & can recommend on that basis, not only because they have a vested interest in the product.

I just built me one of the JDM in-circuit programmers. The info is here:

and here: I managed to stuff all the bits into a DB9 plug and I use this sucker to program the chip: On your board, you have a 5 pin header that the programmer plugs into with lines to Gnd, Vdd, MCLR and RB6 & RB7. It means you can upload new code without having to wrangle the chip out of the circuit. I've only tried it on a 16F84A chip so far, but it seems to work OK.

I dont know whether the microchip programmer (picstart+) will fit your budget (i dont know what it costs) but it can upgrade itself to handle new devices as they become available. I think microchip now have a cheap USB programmer too.

That Olimex bunch I mentioned earlier do this USB programmer that works from MPLAB

US$80 + freight

All

recommend

Thanks for all the replies. Happy new year to all.

I was overseas by the time you asked this question, but am now back

yes it does the F88
