Just be sure it handle/provide common flow control signal as some use them.

Maybe some FTDI chip could do the job.
Thanks... by this you mean I can use a adaptor USB - RS232. Does it mean that the programer should have a RS232 conector?. The circuit I saw in the internet has a SUBD9 conector (serial).

Can you show me a circuit that uses RS232 conector? I have already have a USB - RS232 converter.

Thanks.

Thanks you too.
I saw the diagram and all the files. Im not that smart at electronics nor computers...

Do you think I can program a 16F877A using this circuit that uses a 18F2250?

Thanks.
