Hi,

Assuming you are going to program more than that one 4550 in your lifetime ? - then save yourself hours of hassle and money ordering parts and building ciruits and trying various software to make it all work, plus all the headache pills to calm you down when it doesn't work, unless you are one of very lucky few who succeed in getting them to work.

Just buy a ready made, guaranteed , Microchip Pickit2 programmer / debbugger / logic analyzer - you will not regret it - promise !
( if you intend to use all the latest chips then the Pk3 is the way to go, but the Pk2 still the best bet )

well...i`m was building JDM type programmer to program my 2550 and 4550, but never success. it frustating me.
and then i built Tait style programmer (parralel port) and it works beautifully with my 877A, 2550 and 4550.

but as wp100 said, better to own pickit 2/3. save yourself from a really frustating day. )

Hi,

If you have a parallel port on your PC then this programmer will work.

Hi,

If you can program a 2550 then you should be able to program a 4550 , they are programming wise idential, apart from the larger memory of the 4550.

i use it as a ICSP programmer
you need only Vdd, Vss, MCLR, RB6 and RB7 to program a pic
see the pinout of your pic and connect this pins to the pic pins
I use WinPic PIC programmer software
