New PIC Programmer
I'm currently in the market for a new programmer. Several years ago I started out with the P16PRO. While it did its job for a few years I got tired of swapping pics and eventually it quit working. Instead of fixing it I decided to buy a JDM style ICSP programmer from sparkfun. It never really worked consistantly and it finally stopped functioning the other day.
So now I'm in the market for a new programmer. I'm not really interested in spending a lot of money since this is my hobby, but I still want a nice programmer. I've seen several posts about the pickit 2, and have see several ICD2 clones on ebay.
What's the best way to go? Is ICD2 worth the extra expense? Any clones worth looking at?
Finally it might be nice to find something that also does eeprom programming, and possibly other microcontroller types (AVR etc.). Now I'm pushing my luck.
