My client wants me to slowly bring up an engineering associate as a PIC Programmer, since (1) all of the products I have designed for the client has PICs in them, and (2) I am getting long of tooth. I was wondering if anybody has a recommended breadboard, easy to use, to attach to an ICD2 and allow easy programming, keeping my interaction to a minimum. PICKIT2? Anything with PIC16F876A/877A?
