Have any of you guys ever actually built a PIC programmer yourself or built
one of the PIC programmers from David Tait's site or any other site?

If you did, could you tell me if it works or if it was difficult to do?
I also plan to build a programmer myself, but I'm not sure if it's better
to build one that interfaces with the parrallel port or the serial port.

let me know..

Thanks
John
