Development Board Recomendations ???

[malc-c]

Been thinking of getting one of the EasyPIC boards for some time now, and with the pound so strong against the dollar, it might actually work out cheaper purchasing direct from the US than via the UK distributor

Edit:
Just checked and the cost from the US is:
Product Total: £ 63.84 GBP
Shipping: £ 13.41 GBP
Order Total: £ 77.25 GBP

The cost from the UK distributor (http://www.paltronix.com/index.html ) is

Subtotal £69.00
Shipping (Standard Post) £5.00
VAT £12.95
Total £86.95

So you could save yourself £9.70 buy ordering from the US. Only drawback is the time it takes to get here. If you want it next day then the cost is £89.89

Hi all,
I am using one from Microbyte Electronics in Australia. www.microbyte.com.au
It does everything I want Very, Very well. Comes with IC-PROG and handles 8 - 40 pin chips. There will be a PLCC44 adaptor available pretty soon. In short, this is a great board (although quite expensive) and I cannot say enough good things about it.

Any board from MikroElektronika!

I have EasyPIC 4 + various accessory boards and really love it. It support all < 40 pins PIC, from the 10F to 18F. On board USB programmer etc etc etc. For what you have on-board, you can't beat it. OK the ICD is useless if you don't have any MikroElektronika compiler but... i never use ICD (or 1-2 times / year) ... my ICD-2 is gathering dust here

In USA, i recommend Circuit-Ed

Well I guess 3 out of 4 developers recomend the EasyPic 4.
Thanks for the input.

Where to get it here in Canada Mister E

As far as i'm aware of there's no Canadian distributor. I got mine from Circuit-Ed.

For now, to proceed an order to ship in canada, you have to contact Warren directly with your order.
