Post by thread:[PIC]: Emulators and money

Okay, I'm doing a project with a 16C62B, and I might need to invest in an emulator before this is done. Looking around, I find: MPLAB-ICE for about $1995.00 Clearview Mathias for about $695.00 (w/o options) RICE17A for about $675.00 (again, w/o options) Have I missed anything that might be worth considering? If not, I'd at least appreciate some opinions on any of the above, either for or against... any comments will be helpful.

I have a Mathias with the trace module and it works great for the 16C series. Of course, since I got the HiTech C compiler, everything usually works and I have only needed the emulator a couple of times since then. BTW, the compiler integrates well into the Mathias TDE environment. Cheers, Bob -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

I've used ClearView Mathias for the last 6 years, mostly assembly. Good, reliable product, never has failed. Very easy and intuitive to use. They have an excellent help line for the few times I had questions. Cheers, Sergio {Original Message removed}

I'd rather have expensive devtools for chips that are available than cheap ones for those that aren't (or at least weren't at the time...) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Does anyone make a (cheap!!) emulator for the 12C5xx series PICs?? I am considering buying a UV eraser and 3 JW parts, all up costing me well over $100 US. Does anyone make an emulator for the baby PICs in this price range?? -Roman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList .....piclist-unsubscribe-requestKILLspam@spam@mitvma.mit.edu

Code is downloaded in second instead waiting several minutes to erase the JW parts. If you consider that your time is money the $250 difference will be paid off very quickly. There is one catch though ;) read my previous e-mail.

Can't recall much else about it, but I thought it was very inexpensive, like ~$200 US. Less than the personality modules for a full-fledged emulator. Anyone else know what I am talking about?
