JDM style will program "most" 12F & 16F series chips, A bit more work than the PICKIT2, I really like using PICKit2 with the demo boards because of the 1 click reprogram directly from MCS. You will wear out the pins of your PICs installing and reprogramming them with the JDM, I like the PICKit1 for the 12F series. You cannot go wrong with the PICKit2, note there is a PICKit3 on the market now too. Also note the jumpers on the JDM, you have to move one of them when you move to the "larger" 16Fs from say a 16F628A to a 16F877 and you get virtually zero instructions or documentation with the JDM, at least I didn't get any with the 2 I bought.
"And its worth mentioning that I'm dirt poor,. . . "
You are in pretty good company as far as that goes, lots of that to share. It really is an advantage to be poor at least once in your life, it makes you more creative and appreciative. If necessity is the Mother of invention, then certainly poverty is the Mother of improvisation. You know the lids from the peanut butter makes great wheels for a hobby robot, rubber bands make tires . . . I have been saving beer bottle caps, I saw a toy snake in AAAs booklet, I am dieing to have my grandson make, My Mom has trivets made from them, with crochet covers. We as a society waste too much.

If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
