#KIT 128. ALL FLASH USB PIC PROGRAMMER REGISTRATION#
Relatively cheap, parallel port computer connection, can be bought as a kit or pre-assembled, supports a wide range of PICs and also some other devices, software registration included, limited technical support, Price includes 18Vdc wall wart and parallel cable. Price includes the fact that a 18Vdc wall wart and serial/usb cable must also be purchased.
#KIT 128. ALL FLASH USB PIC PROGRAMMER SERIAL#
Kit 149, USB / Serial Port PIC ProgrammerĬheap, serial/usb, programs a wide range of PICs, must be soldered (it’s a kit), free programming software, limited technical support. Price includes $40 Universal Programming Module The table below shows the various options I looked at before making my decision.Įxpensive, serial, supports a large range of PICs, should have good technical supportĮxpensive, usb, works with MPLAB to help debug programs (will require two pins), should have good support. What programmer you will buy depends largely on how much you want to spend and how much technical support you will need.

The third and final part will explain the setup and use of various supporting hardware necessary to use the PIC microcontroller. The second part of this guide will demonstrate the use of one of the programmers mentioned in part I. The first part of this guide will help select a PIC programmer by comparing the current options versus cost and functionality. The Basics of Programming and Using a PIC MicrocontrollerĪuthored By: Doug purpose of this guide is to help those who are familiar with electronics and writing PIC microcontroller software to program and use PIC microcontrollers at home.
