Mark 22 years ago

hello i am planning to start learning the pic family . For that i want to buy a pic programmer that is mplab compatible and is cheap. WHich makes picstart plus out of the qn. i was thinking of buying warp-13 . I have listed the details could u pls tell me if its a good and worth buying?. Sorry if this is the wrong grp to post this . G'Day

FEATURES:

a.. Low cost PIC programmer for all 12C, 14C, 16C5x, 18Cxxx, 18Cxxx PICs. b.. MPLAB compatible. c.. Free software updates via web site. d.. Free firmware updates via the web site e.. Windows 9x/ME/XP software. WARP-13 WILL PROGRAM THESE PICS:

PIC16C52 ? PIC16C55 ? PIC16C57 ? PIC16C54 ? PIC16C55A ? PIC16C57C ? PIC16C54A ? PIC16C56 ? PIC16CR57B ? PIC16C54B ? PIC16C56A ? PIC16CR57C ? PIC16C54C ? PIC16CR56A ? PIC16C58A ? PIC16CR54A ? PIC16C58B ? PIC16CR54B ? PIC16CR58A ? PIC16CR54C ? PIC16CR58B PDIP, SOIC*, Windowed CERDIP

16HV540 (All the above PICs require either the 18-pin Zif or 28-pin auxiliary ZIFs to be fitted. These are parallel programmed chips and do not support ISCP over 5-wires. Many PIC programmers don't program ANY of the above devices.)

Interesting. I didn't even notice. I just read the correct word into the context.

so did I Byron :-)

To my knowledge, there are only two programmers that are MPLAB compatible Mark. The picstart+ from Microchip, and the Warp-13 from Newfound.

I have sold Newfound programmers since 1995, and Jim of Newfound was here with me 12 hours ago giving me a rundown on his future direction for the Warp-13. He has sold about 4000 w-13's, and all WARP-13's are hand tested before being shipped.

I do have others:

that are USB, serial, parallel, but the only one that is MPLAB compatible is the warp-13.

I'm sorry but in professionally written code, comments should use proper English and avoid being cute. Correct spelling is assumed.

I'm looking at buying a PIC programmer for the 16 and 18 series PICs, but I need it to work with Linux tools. The PICstart+ appears to fit the bill but I'm wondering what other options are out there. Do any of the devices you sell explicitly support Linux?

will give you the rundown on Linux and the warp-13 Jeff. however I have no direct knowledge of this, so you will really have to chat with the people invloved with the linux/warp-13 software. If it works, then it is a very cost effective solution.

If the source code is the product then I agree. Otherwise who cares as long as the comment helps the reader.

We use the ICD2 debugger/programmer from Microchip. I don't know what you mean by cheap but at $159 USD this unit offers pretty good bang for the buck.

Agreed, some meaningful comment is better than none. But why be lazy, spell out the entire word. Since my deliverable is almost always the source code you can understand my point of view.

I wouldn't think that how much you make determines how professional you are, nor how much respect your peers or customers give you. I simply cannot imagine having a code review with "kewl crzy cmnts" and not having my head served to me on a platter by my peers. Can you?
