Post by thread:[PIC]: PICALL PIC Programmer

I have a http://www.melabs.com <http://www.melabs.com/> EPIC Pocket programmer and I want to program 16C771 20 pin dip PICs. To do this I will have to update my software from v2.11 :-( AND buy a 8/18/20 ZIF connector, total $45 before I pay shipping or tax! Consequently, I'm looking for a new programmer that will ideally program the 16C771SP and the 16F873SP. I'm considering the 'PICALL PIC Programmer' which I can get from http://www.electronics123.com/amazon/default.htm <http://www.electronics123.com/amazon/default.htm%20for%20$70> for $70 ish. Or how about Tony Nixon's Pocket Programmer? Anyone used this? Any good? Will it program the 16C771SP 20 pin skinny dip? Any comments on this purchase? I'm happy to solder etc but I won't walk a mile to save a penny.

Ted, I happen to be using a PICALL which I bought from Electronics123/Amazon. The service from 123 was great, and the programmer works reasonably well. But I should say that I've had to replace both voltage regulators (one 78l05 and one 78l08). My only other beef is is that there's no ICSP connector. Apparently, you can do ICSP by making a DIP header and putting it in the ZIF socket but it would be much easier if the PICALL had a connector for this purpose. If I were doing it again, I think I'd consider the Warp 13 from http://www.phanderson.com/warp-13.html or through other sources. I have no experience with it but I've heard good things about it.

What will the cost be on the kit 144? Is there a page up discussing its capabilities?
