    It’s a very old technology…
    I use Sprut Brenner 8/9 revision 5…
    It’s very fast and it uses usb 2.0 board…
    The German guys also did the programmer program for linux and windows…
    You think to make a new progremmer for pic you should think this…
    And it costs under $25…

    Thanks FxDev, there’s definitely way better home-made PIC programmers out there. So take the one I posted for whatever it is worth =D.

  3. FxDev Says:

    Yes Chris, but when the works became a professional some programmers like this can’t be useful. And it said only 16c84 can be programmed. But ‘c’ series come to an end…
    Anyway, pic can be programmed a lot of ways but what about FPGA (xilinx)?
    Do you know about this subject?
