http://www.sxlist.com/techref/scenix/devprogs.htm Lists the SX programmers I know about. Were I you, I would buy an SXKey and run it on a windows machine. The debugging ability is just worth it. The lowest cost option I know is the SX-Blitz from Parallax $79 and then use the http://sourceforge.net/projects/gsxprog/ software under Linux. If you really want a "free" programmer and are willing to port some DOS C code to Linux you might want to look at http://www.codepuppies.com/~ben/sens/pic/sx/ See the PIC programming page at http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/devprogs.htm for some people who have ported DOS PIC programmers to Linux. specifically, look at http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/16F877/taitlinux.htm If you do port the code, please consider posting the result for others.

Is there any easy modifications to modify the NOPPP programmer to program the Scenix chips? I've got the NOPPP programmer built on my breadboard right now to program 18 & 40 pin Microchips... I'd like to experiment with programming the Scenix chips (but not give up the ability to program Microchips if possible). Any help would be greatly appreciated.. If this is not possible, does anybody have schematics for a simple Scenix programmer (with Linux programming software preferrably). -- Rob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
