Are there any other cheaper programmer (cheaper than ICD2) which support dsPIC? I just come across the dsPICprog from mikroElektronika. It is not really very cheap (US$89+ US$25shipping). However it looks quite sleek. http://www.mikroelektronika.co.yu/english/product/tools/dspicprog.htm "USB 2.0 In-System programmer for Microchip dsPIC microcontrollers. dsPICprog is a programmer for the Microchip's new dsPIC microcontroller family. Scalable architecture allows you to be up to date with new Microchip's products in the future... Price: $89.00 USD Shipping: $25 USD" -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
