> Is this available yet? Soon. Thru hole engineering units have been working and in regular use for months. I'm supposed to have first surface mount pilot run production units in my hand by the end of the week. > Where? We will be setting up an e-commerce site, and this will be the first product. We will accept the major credit cards, no PayPal required. > What software is used to operate the unit? For now there will be Windows command line programs that you pass the HEX file name to. The serial protocol will be documented, and the software will be open source. > Does it perform multi-level Vdd verification? Yes. The times I posted included a verification pass at each Vdd limit. This makes it a "production" versus "prototype" programmer according to the Microchip definition. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
