![]() So you need to check if your chips are supported or not. As for the debugging, PICkit 2 supports less MCU than ICD 2 right now. For lab use, I think PICkit 2 and ICD2 are both fine. Is the PICkit2 fairly comparable in it's debugging features to the ICD 2? For real production run, perhaps you want to get Promate III. I've only used the MPLAB SIM, not the in circuit debugging. It's fine to use, but they're actually not very robust. ORIGINAL: o.fairhall I use the ICD 2 at work (it's just what they buy). With PICkit 2 in the marketplace, I do not see any needs for the serial port based simple JDM like programmers especailly if your motherboard does not have a serial port. But it supports not as many PICs as PICkit 2 and does not support debugging. If you want a somewhat more reliable programmer, Olin's USBprog seems to add some protection and Vdd driving capability and have no problem with lower USB voltage on some USB ports. It supports almost all Flash PICs/dsPICs and support debugging of many PIC16F/18F device. Nothing beats PICkit 2 in its price range. ORIGINAL: o.fairhall Otherwise, a more expensive USB programmer (like ICD 2) might be worthwhile. Otherwise, a more expensive USB programmer (like ICD 2) might be worthwhile. There are cheap ones from Hong Kong on e-bay, which might be OK. If you are using a desktop PC, they are an option. I bought two Sunix RS-232 PCI cards, which are working well for me (though they can also get a bit hot if left running for too long). Additionally, if there was a framing error on the signal into the RS-232 Rx, then the adapter would have an unrecoverable failure, and need to be unplugged and re-inserted. Three that I used all overheated, and would fail to operate after being plugged in for more than 30 minutes or so, even if unused, and also did not return an error on failure. I've found two problems with USB/RS-232 adapters though. The ITALIAN helpfile (in IC-Prog press F1 key) is updated. It is not the full new release (I am working on it). ![]() : Settings for how to use IC-Prog with Windows XP.html. ![]() JDM Programmer, please disconnect pin 7 (WP) of the eeprom from.
