I have received my PIC-MCP-USB Programmer today.

(Fully assembled PCB with precision gold-plated 40pin ZIF-Socket on Board)

What I can tell so far is:

- It is really Plug&Play
- works nicely on a USB-port of my Notebook computer
- does not require any external Power-Supply.
- is fully supported by MPLAB 7.00


The only thing that is a bit disappointing to me is the speed.

It might be faster as PICSTART+, but it is still slow.

However,
if you are looking for a Plug&Play USB-Programmer
that supports the full Range of PIC MCUs
at a reasonable price,
it appears to be a good choice.
