    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

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

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

    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.

    They have a pretty nice and quite fast service.

    Default easypic queestion

    so... i looked at the easypic 4 boards -they seem amazing featurres\dollar... however, one major issue held me back... is it really helpfull to have to switch in LEDs and switches in banks of 8?

    Sure it makes the device more economical and easier to route, but really, putting all of port a as switches and b as LEDs is a bit silly?

    most of my programs have a few switches and LEDS, not 8 and 8! what does this do to the smaller devices? also, is there any flexibility with LCD pin assignments, etc?


    please correct me if this is not the case, or if you have found this concern isnt an issue in practice! i had my card out at one point! then i read the manual and backed off...

    -Robert
