PIC18FXXXX Programmer Circuit

[smith777]

here is a very easy one could you check out and give your opinion:

could you clarify how to check my laptop if it has parallel port or not, and what you mean by how long it could last that PC
for me 50 $ is expensive do you know cheaper one?

Check prices with Microchip / representatives.

Most probably your laptop has not it. Look for this.

Buena suerte.

No recent laptop is likely to have a parallel port - nor any recent desktop either.
