    & don't forget the PICKIT2's UART tool (which comes integral with the Pickit2 programmer software).....a positive boon for easily getting serial (debug) data displayed on your PC screen.


    If money's too tight to mention...there are Pickit2 clones made in china (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Clone-Microchi...item3a5ed695d9 ) which are apparently almost identical to Microchip's offering (you can even use Microchip's Pickit2 firmware on them!)

    You want free ware and do not mind learning?
    MPLAB is free, learn ASM.

    Cheap programmers? The cheapest is the PicKit2.

    The time you spend finding out a JDM does not work and whatever you pay for it will cost more than buying something that works the first time.

    Always wear safety glasses while programming.
