sal said:hello. I want to know what is the best (freeware) porgramme for a PIC programmer?
Nigel Goodwin said:Personally I'd say WinPicProg - but as I wrote it, I'm probably a little biased?
But it was the worlds first Windows PIC programmer, the first to include a dis-assembler, and is probably still the fastest?.
However, today I would highly suggest using an ICD2 clone like the InchWorm, because it will always be upto date, as MicroChip update the firmware as they release new devices.
For parallel and serial programmers, IC-Prog is still highly recommended, and WinPic800 has a good few admirers.
Like anything else, 'best' is a very sibjective term.

we call it SELF CONFIDENC you may feel BIAS
Incidentally , help me guiding as to how to program 16c54 without failure as it is, you know, an OTP.
Hi Nigel,Nigel Goodwin said:First you need to get a UV erasable (JW) version, you can't expect to get it right first time you write the code.
However, the 16C54 isn't even listed anymore, so I would suggest the 16F54 to replace it, and MicroChip have a number of application notes about moving from the 16C54 to 16F54. Presumably this is for your clock problem?, I would suggest fault finding and finding what's wrong - rather than trying another old IC.
