Picallw or Newfound Warp 13a Programmer?

[overture]

picallw

I am going to buy my first programmer for PIC. I have sorted out two but can't make up my mind which one to go for.

Newfound Warp 13a (https://www.newfoundelectronics.com) is fully compatible with MPLab and, as I understand, Picallw (https://www.picallw.com) isn't. Not sure how important and how usefull it is for a programmer to be fully compatible with MPLab.

Both have the capability to program other MCUs and serial eproms. Although I am not sure which one gives more options in this area.

Also another issue is easy upgrading of the firmware and how frequently they add support for more devices. Not sure which one would be better.

As you can see from above, I am totally lost between the two. If anyone has any experience with both of those programmer, can you please suggest me which one to go for? I can spend the money for only one. Can't afford to buy another one in a long long time in future.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

You didn't write about another programmer but i want to mention about willem.It can program lots of devices, pics,eproms plus atmels and much more.

Bonus : You can find schematics and pcb easily.If you can build it, you can decrease cost incredibly. www.willem.org

I heard warp is much better solution than picallw.

if you only want to program PICs try JDM programmer (search google), it's a very simple programmer, just a few components and doesn't need external power supply (for serial port), use it with ICprog. Or try EPIC programmer, it suports almost every PIC (for paralel port). There's another call PonyProg, their site supplies all the drawning for PCB and software, it suports PIC, ATMEL, EEPROM (spi & i2c).

Hi,

Could someone upload the files (schematics&program) of EPIC programmer again?
Thanks,
