Witch USB Programmer Will work from ebay ?
« on: June 30, 2013, 09:11:03 AM »
Hey guys, I've always used RS232 programmers for 12f683. But i was wanting to try a USB programmer.
I bought one a few months ago from eBay the really cheap price ones like $13. Well this one sucks big ones.
Lost of $13 didn't work. Could anyone give me a link of a USB programmer on eBay right now that you have used or know that it works say with windows 7 and 8. I would just buy a pick it 2 but just don't want to
Spent $50 right now. If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it.

we were talking about the pickit 2 clone. this one right here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clone-Microchip-Development-Programmer-Mini-PICKIT-2-/251281550515?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a818c2cb3

just wondering what the diff is ?
should i upgrade mine? i bought the one posted hasnt given any issues hasnt been a "need" to buy a new programmer
think just knowing the correct pins to use to program is all you need isnt it?

used this works fine under windows 7
easy to use

This one didn't work for me on windows xp, 7 and windows 8 for some reason. I couldn't get it to work. I bought it a few months ago. Theres another one similar to it thats $25 ill try it out other wise ill just buy the original pickit2. Rather paythe $50 from us seller then the clone and wait 20 or more days to ger here. Unless it arrives fast

doesnt take too long to receive it, i got mine in a week time. the k150 only works with a certain program for me, but i got other programmers so i only use it as a last option. but the $25 will work too if you are in a hurry for one.

lol ive never had an issue with mine
you have to install the drivers then under the software you have to run it as admin under win7 or it won't work also try right click on the software /properties/compatibility and clicking  run this program in comp mode for windows xp
once you fire up the program you have to set the correct port the computer gave your programmer which can be found under the device manager under ports(com/lpt)
never had any issue thats why i never thought i needed an upgrade
the only thing that's a bit difficult is doing soic but using a dip to soic adapter its the same thing

Nice You Got It Working. After A Little Reading And Research A New Firmware Has To Be Uploaded To The Pic. Most Seller Dont Update Their Firmware. I Updated Mine And Programmed A Rapidfire 12F683 And A Psx Mod 12C509, BothnNow Working.
