Re: 16f887

Hi,

Yes you need a programmer to get the .hex code into the pic chip.

The best one to buy or diy is a Microchip Pickit2 programmer - just do a search of this forum to plenty of diy plans - the Pickit2 Lite is a good one.

You can program the pic chip from a pc using a Bootloader program on the pic chip, but you have to program that on to the pic chip in the first place.
