hi everone!
the k150 pic programmer is commonly found on ebay but there aren't very many reviews on the internet about it so i was jsut wondering if anyone has had any experience with it or does anyone own one and if so is it any good and will the software (which isn't mplab ide) work on windows 8.1?
thanks!

I thought that programmer was similar to the picstart but in USB form... As Burt said.. For compatibility and support just get a pickit3..

I agree with the rest, the PICkit3 (or even PK2) is the way to go - pointless using a non-supported programmer that requires ports that PC's haven't had for years.

Presumably anything Win8.1 isn't going to even have the required parallel port?.

PICkit2 is only about $12.00 on eBay with zif socket.

I have pk2,3 and k150, thek150 has a usb port.
They are all diffrent, the k150 can program a pic when the pk3 refuses.
