That=92s just to program chips, if your going to buy one of those you would=
 be
far better spending your money on an ICD2 from microchip instead, as that
allows you to debug chips in-circuit. The official ICD2 also supports USB,
however the cheaper clones you can buy online (~=A330) typically only suppo=
rt
rs232. The cheapest place I found last weak for ICD2's in the UK was
microchipdirect, does anyone know anyplace cheaper?

Just my 2cent,

OK, I have just found this...

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=3DSS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=3D=
1406&
dDocName=3Den010020&part=3DDV003001

It looks OK to me but I have a few questions.

1. Has anyone used this before, esecially the software?
2. The devboard looks purely like a programming board to me or is that just
a bad photo.
3. It says that it only connects via RS232 which I ditched on my computer
long ago, will this work with a USB to serial adaptor?

Thanks.

Richard
