Buy a pickit 2 or 3, either original or ebay-clone. It will work much better and more reliably than any diy-programmer. And in contrast to other microcontroller manufacturers' interfaces pickit is very affordable for hobbyist.
Interesting insight... I am starting to lean more and more on buying a ready build USB programmer. I will not mess up my custom desktop or my good school laptop. I suppose you guys might be right. I'll look for a cheap PICKit and weigh my options. I might build a JDM just for fun though. See if I can't get it working while I wait for a PICKit to come in. Thanks for the input. I would still like to build a programmer but suppose I should just take the tutorials and a tried and true programmer and not mess with something that may make me not want to program.
Hiho, Pete, are you fine?
If you want a simple and very good JDM programmer I suggest you a Olimex PIC PG2. Nowadays a have a PICkit 2 clone (with a 18F4550) and this JDM.
If you wanna make one, look the website : PIC-PG2 PIC SERIAL PORT PROGRAMMER FOR 8/18/28/40PIN PIC DEVICES I2C EEPROMS
Q: My computer have no RS232. Can I use USB to RS232 converter with PIC-PG2?
A: No, the USB to RS232 converters add delay due to USB nature and this will mess up the programming timing. If you want USB programmer consider PIC-ICD2-POCKET.
I went ahead and got a cheaper PICKit 2 Clone. It was the one linked above. Figured that it would be fine and was a little bit cheaper so even better. I did want to build a programmer but oh well, this should make things a bit easier to deal with.
Thanks everyone. Looking forward to playing around a little bit with this stuff.
Hello to all, especially for beginners,
not spend time with the soldering of programmers,
buy ready-made professional programmers,
the price level is very acceptible, for example greath USB pic programmer for app 60 USD
PIC Programmer,
also check this
**broken link removed**
for app 50 USD you will have proffy solution....
