Hi all
I wish to upgrade my 16F84 PIC Programmer (the Charles Manning one from EA,
about 1996) to a new one which does all (Most) PICs. Can anyone recommend a
USB type please? There have been several published in SC recently. Are any
of these worth looking at?
Thanks for any input
Regards
Brian (Chopper) Playne

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.

Brian

Re: PIC Programmer Recommendations

I just built me one of the JDM in-circuit programmers. The info is here:
http://olimex.com/dev/pdf/pic-pg1a.pdf
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 was overseas by the time you asked this question, but am now back
yes it does the F88
