Post by thread:[PIC] Winpic on Linux

What is the programmer you are using? If it is JDM type I think there are some native Linux programs which supported it. Are you refer to the following Winpic? http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/winpicpr.html Since it is open source, I think it should be possible to port to Linux as well. I am not so familiar with JDM but the following link supports dsPIC. http://homerreid.ath.cx/misc/dspicprg/ Linux dsPIC RPM packages for Fedora Core 4 http://www.baycom.org/~tom/dspic/ >From the GNUPIC list, I hear that people have used IC-Prog under Linux/Wine with JDM. Another suggestion is to build a Wisp628. It is much more reliable and is not so picky for the COM port. It has native Linux support with Python based xwisp and C based xwisp2 (Linux/Windows/OS/2 and possibly MacOS X very soon).

Subject: [PIC] Winpic on Linux Hi, Has anyone tried winpic on Linux/WINE yet. Regards, Chetan

Thanks Chen, Yes, I have a JDM style programmer and I'm referring to the DL4YFH Winpic. The reason I like WinPIC is that it supports many interfaces and devices. The reason I asked this question is that one of my friends just built PIC-E (a http://www.tapr.org kit) and that uses PIC as a serial to AX.25 protocol converter. He wanted to setup a linux platform to program that kit. I'll take a look at the linux programmer that you suggested. I'm sure wisp is a great programmer and might build it.
