PIC Programming Tools?

I want to program some PICs - only 8 or 18 pin devices. I assume MPLAB is
the best development environment, but does anyone have any suggestions for a
cheap serial-port programmer and software?

Visit www.dontronics.com for his shitload of links about PIC's programmer &
software.

Jaycar, DSE & Altronics sells PIC programmer & the chip.

Check Silicon Chips for their PIC programmer.

Have a looks at Don's AVR boards too.
AVR are a cheap brilliant product.

You might find a high level language is easier and better than assembly
for most applications.
The free PIC-C Lite compiler supports a few useful devices.
If you want to use assembly though, MPLAB is the only way to go.

One of the kitsrus.com usb pic programmers.
k150 or k149 (dontronics sell these)
get the ziff socket its worth it.
see http://www.kitsrus.com/upuc.html for the list of supported pics

k150 is usb only (virtual com port)
K149 usb and serial

If you get a 18 - 20 pin pic only programmer with in a few weeks
your going to need to program a larger pic.

The immediate stuff I'm doing ain't rocket science, but it needs the speed
and timing accuracy of assembly. For other applications you're right, I'd
much prefer to do it in C.

Thanks to everyone for their comments - most appreciated.
