Hi all, Just got my new V5 portable programmer powered by the USB port which saves using external power supplies. While it doesn't actually interface with MPLAB, it knows when the HEX files are changed and has a "fly on the wall" mini programmer window that sits on top of MPLAB to access the programmer running in the background. As soon as I get an 18Fxxx sample, it will have support for that series as a free upgrade. -- Best regards Tony mICros http://www.bubblesoftonline.com mailto:sales@bubblesoftonline.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
