I bought the DIY 149 clone from a company nbglin (linky). I bought this thing on inpulse as it was cheap and I need a usb programmer.
I'm trying to program a PIC18F4550, and this is not listed in the supported devices list. As such, even with the latest software from the original company, which does support my PIC, it does not work.
The next thing I have done is merge the configuration section for the earlier version so it will recognize my PIC, but still not working.
Are there any differences from this PIC and any other in the 18F series programing wise (ICSP), which I could try to get this thing to work? Has anyone made the same mistake as me in buying this crap and may have a little big of experience with it?
...or should I just dismantle it and use the parts for something worthwile?
