Is this project a one off sort of thing? If so then the PicKit2 will be cheaper in the long run.I guess I could just build one, but will it really be cost effective when a pickit2 is only $35 for just the programmer?
You can also use the PicKit2 on an Ubuntu box.As an extra bonus, if I could do all this with ubuntu 10 from the machine controller, now that would be something.

About the project size, Of course we always hope somebody may want 1 besides us, at this point I am only focused on his and mine. For this I think pk2 is prolly best. I can even get him to buy his own!
I will prolly dig a little deeper into the I2C method. In the future it would be best to have a single serial connection to talk to both cards. I am sure there must be a way to not need the serial analyzer to do this. even if its a special built card that does rs232<->I2c. power levels can come from the target
yea Ubuntu!!!

I guess I must be, I seem to need at least 4-5 hours now days.
I got my cards in todaySo I will be building my cards tomorrow morning and hopefully start programming it.
As my mind always does, I am already wondering to start thinking about an RS232 to I2c board. Anybody want in on getting something together?

Might be an interesting project, but I have not used a bootloader yet of any kind.

Well even if it weren't a bootloader, it seems like it could have value as an interface. Yet anoyher way to talk to the animals.

Just a thought.
Have a PIC receive data from the PC serially and squirt the same data out I2C ???
That would be too easy.

Thanks Walter, I was wanting to figure out how to include the other thread so to speak. There is heaps of good stuff in it, so I am glad its not buried in this one.

ADD in full swing here
Well, not that I need to be thinking about this yet, but in anticpation of "phase III" Anybody have any ideas for ram? I think I will be looking for at least 2-4K. The more the merrier. I do have scads of DDR sticks, that would be cool. Or I was thinking about SD cards, they would be way convinent. But at this point I am still just thinking.

SD is kind of slow, I here FRAM is fast.
