Guest IainDuncan Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Hi folks, I'm an electronics newbie and I'd like to both build the midibox and also learn PIC programming. I'd like to hear peoples opinions on what programmer to build or buy, and whether things like the Olimex prototype boards are good investments for beginners. I've been looking at the Olimex PG2C, and P40B protoboards. Should I just build a JDM programmer myself? Is it easy to make one that I can use with ICPROG given that I am very new to electronics? Can one build a good proto/dev board to play with too? Any feedbacks and links would be appreciated.Thanks,Iain Quote
uclaros Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Hi Iain!My opinion is you should definetly build a JDM!!It's a very simple but powerfull circuit!As a beginer, you'll gain some experience points to your next level! Quote
Guest IainDuncan Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Thanks. I also have the PCB for the El Cheapo programmer that comes with "Programming and Customizing PIC . . ." by Myke Predko. Details of it are at www.myke.com Anyone have any comment on whether it would be worth building or would I be better off just making a JDM on Veroboard?Thanks,Iain Quote
uclaros Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Why not making the jdm on a PCB?? It's a good start to building your own pcbs and covers all your needs for MBHP programming and evn more I believe! Quote
