Please friends i need a programmer, can any one recommend a good programmer for me.

 

Yes PICKIT2 or PICKIT3. The best programmers for PICs

 

I'm a programmer.

I write good programs. For lots of teh monies.

Send me teh monies, then we can talk.

 

Best stand alone programmer is the Microchip PICSTART plus.
If microchip cant get it right then no one can !

It is good but doomed with the almost extinct serial port disappearing from computers. I still use it. And I will until I change PC or micros.

 

I'll vote for PICKit 2 or PICKit 3 with demo board for ~ $50 or $60

The PICKit 2 has some features the PICKit 3 doesn't, such as UART analyzer, 3 channel logic probe, and logic injection. However, it doesn't program/debug the very newest uC's from Microchip

The PICKit 3 will program and debug all PICs, but lacks the extra tools the PICKit 2 provides.

If you already have a logic analyzer, then go with the PICKit 3, If you do not, the PICKit 2 supports 90% of the PICs around that you find programs for all over the web.

Do NOT buy a PICKit 2 Clone to save $10, or any other "DIY/build it yourself" type programmer for PICs. We have many threads on people trying to get into microcontrollers and giving up because they tried to save $10 on the programming hardware. If they end up buying a PICKit, they are suddenly happy.
