Hello all, I am new to the PIC's but have used some MCU's in the past. = I recently attended the PIC conference and was given a "Sample Kit" = witch included a copy of MpLab, 12F926, and 16F676 PIC's. When I got = home I hit the net and downloaded everything I could find on these to = see if I could program them (found lots of stuff including NoPPP and = xcsb). My question is has anyone come up with a programmer for these = that you can build yourself. I want to use the PIC's in some of the = smaller robots that I work with for group functions but can't figure out = how to program them. I checked the FAQ against the 2 part numbers but = nothing except a C compilier came up. Sorry if this question has been = answered before.
