There are many programmers, personaly I use the one found on this page : http://www.voti.nl/pic/tools.html.

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.
