Post by thread:Low cost programmer for PIC18F4550?

I'm putting together a piece for Make magazine that will involve the use of Flash USB PIC (I guess that means 18F2455/2550/4455/4550 from a quick scan of the Microchip site). I'd like to recommend a cost effective programmer for people to use. Any recommendations? Thanks :) -- Andy Armstrong, hexten.net

Thanks :) > I have just put together a JDM programmer from this site:- http://feng3.cool.ne.jp/en/pg5v2.html It works a treat !!!!!!!! So far I have used it to program an 18F2550 (amongst others) without a problem so I would imagine that it would do the rest of the chips you mention. Software used was WinPic800. One problem (see my previous post) that with WinPic800 software I could not program on com2 (com 1 is fine) although other software such as ICprog worked equally well on both com ports. Hope this helps. BTW what is make magazine? Cheers Rob Payne
