Actually I bought one of those $80 ones from China (same folks also have $40 ones) just to see, a couple of months back... band new, all accessories, and arrived in 7 days. Can't fault it... just need a UK Power Cube as mine had those angled Chinese plugs.

See below, would this be all I need to program the 12F683 ?

Well, it's got the PIC you want to use listed, and for the price you really can't go wrong.

Is the PICKIT2 that hard to get over there? Is it that much more expensive or something?Originally Posted by Melanie
I don't see why people are still buying the 'knock-offs' when the PICKIT2 is just plain ol' so much more than meets the eye...
|
PICKIT2 is about £30 but then dont you need to buy something else to go with it to program PIC's ?
|
Nope...complete kit, USB programmer, CD with software (which you can download from Microchip), basic instruction manual (more like a pamphlet), better manual online and/or on CD.
Get the PICKIT2 Debug Express and you'll get a demo board with a 16F887 on it, along with a few goodies. Costs $50USD, don't know what it'll run you over there.

Dig up a 6 pin header and a breadboard, forget about the ziff, and do ICSP.
When you complete a PCB and want to change code a bit, and you have built a header in, ICSP.
A test rig for 18F6680, a little messy, the PICKIT2 6 pin header is on the right.

Always wear safety glasses while programming.
