[ngeronikolos]

Hello to everybody,

I would like your opinion about what programmer to choose for my 18f4550.
I do not have expirience to that pic.
I use until now 16f628.

Please let me know what is the better,to build one myself or to buy a new one?

Thanks for your time

PICKIT2 from Microchip. ~ $40 USD, well supported, works great, lasts long time.

Hi Nikos Geronikolos,

It depends on your budget and need.I will build 1 if you ask me.

About PIC18F4550 from my point of view " BRAVO".Well made with Full Speed USB and HID but MC is not so good (10 MIPS) for 40MHZ +






Make things simple but not simpler.

My first choice is ths same as skimask's you can't beat microchips deal
If you want to build one this one is pretty good here'a a link
