hello people ...
after 3 weeks of reading studying MCUs , downloading huge library of development IDEs, simulations , studying C ( ... again) and assembly .. the moment of truth finally comes !!!
I used MikroC compiler for its simplicity, impressive documentation, the extensive online resources provided by their web ... its lovely !!
I used its debugger , my software is perfect .. finally !!!
I used Proteus 6 ( or called ISIS6 u will love this software, massive library !! ) to simulate the MCU , I took the .hex file from mikroC and add it to the MCU in the simulation , connected few LEDs and stepper motors , the system run perfectly !!!!
I am living a nice dream ... until I decided to start realizing the project , I needed up with a nightmare !
I do not have any sort of experience with Programmers of MCU, I searched the web and specifically microship.com , prices are ridiculous some times.
Now, I need some help about the programmers. if the .hex file is compiled and ready using mikroC, will I have to change some syntax and re-compile my program becoz the programmer Im willing to use is supporting MPLAB ?
I want to buy this programmer http://www.microchipdirect.com/ProductSearch.aspx?Keywords=DM180021
will i need to change my program so it will suit MBLAP and its kit ??
by the way, is this programmer good ? do u have any other suggestion on the range of that price ??
the MCU i am willing to use is PIC18F452 .. just in case if u want to suggest alternative programmer
