USB PIC programmer, melabs
Exchanged my serial usb programmer with the USB one that's just come out of melabs. It is on its way!!!
Our latest PIC® Programmer is driven and powered from a single USB port on your computer. No additional AC power adapter is needed. The programmer is recognized by Windows as an HID (Human Interface Device) rather than a virtual serial port, simplifying driver installation.
The programmer consists of two parts. The programmer board is specifically designed for In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP). An adapter is included to allow the programming of DIP-packaged PICs from 8 to 40 pins. The programmer is compatible with the complete line of Programming Adapters. This allows you to program almost any ICSP-capable PIC in almost any package.
The new design is small and compact. The programmer board measures only 1.5" x 2.3". A dual color LED indicates programmer status. The connection to the computer is via a standard USB cable (Type-A male to Type-B male).
