Has anybody done anything (projects) with it or is it just a learning toy?

In case you are not mind reader,Dick Smith code K3603

to learn more go to

100 bucks, for a device that only supports the (fairly obsolete)
PIC16F84A? Unless you really short of time, this sounds a bit like a
ripoff. How about http://www.futurlec.com.au/PIC18F458Training.jsp ,
with a better chip, for only 60 bucks?

cheers,

Al
 
I use the PG2 from www.olimex.com

I bought it from Peter H Anderson in the USA

Cost me $22 all up incl postage to Brisbane.

(It is a JDM style programmer)

Then use icprog (http://www.ic-prog.com/index1.htm) to program it.


Note icprog supports the following PICs
12C508, 12C508A, 12C509, 12C509A, 12CE518, 12CE519
12C671, 12C672, 12CE673, 12CE674
12F629, 12F675
16C433
16C54, 16C56, 16C58
16C61, 16C62A, 16C62B, 16C63, 16C63A, 16C64A, 16C65A, 16C65B, 16C66, 16C67
16C71, 16C72, 16C72A, 16C73A, 16C73B, 16C74A, 16C74B, 16C76, 16C77
16F73, 16F74, 16F76, 16F77
16C84, 16F83, 16F84, 16F84A
16C505
16C620, 16C620A, 16C621, 16C621A, 16C622, 16C622A
16CE623, 16CE624, 16CE625
16F627, 16F628 Pull PGM to GND!
16F630, 16F676
16C710, 16C711, 16C712, 16C715, 16C716, 16C717, 16C745, 16C765
16C770, 16C771, 16C773, 16C774, 16C781, 16C782
16F818, 16F819
16F870, 16F871, 16F872, 16F873, 16F874, 16F876, 16F877 Pull PGM to GND!
16F873A, 16F874A, 16F876A, 16F877A Pull PGM to GND!
16C923, 16C924
18F242, 18F248, 18F252, 18F258, 18F442, 18F448, 18F452, 18F458 Pull PGM to
GND!
18F1320, 18F2330, 18F4320, 18F6620, 18F6720, 18F8620, 18F8720 Pull PGM to
GND


It also supports EEPROM memory and some AVRs (and 8051)

Also see wimpic (http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/winpicpr.html) I use it to
program the 16F88

BTW you can build your own programmer if you don't want to buy one.

Also check out Sparkfun's Bootloader and other stuff

Hope that helps,
Nigel

Depends on what you mean by projects. Serious commercial projects, no good.
This cheap kit programmers are no chop for commercial programming. If you
mean 1-off projects, they are fine.

I dare say that the DSE unit would support more than f84.

Have a look the USB PIC programmers at:
http://www.dontronics.com/diyk128.html
http://www.dontronics.com/diyk149.html
http://www.dontronics.com/diyk150.html
http://www.dontronics.com/diyk182.html

All Australian designed, kept up to date, and not a toy.

128 and 182 will program flash chips only, and 149, 150 will program all of the
below chips.
