Dear everyone,
Being new to this business, I am facing some trouble in picking a programmer to buy. I worked with the PIC start plus at the university and it was good. But I only seem to find 2 brands here: one that looks poorly made (it's on a PCB!) and another expensive one called 'BeeProg'. It is supposed to be good. Has any of you heard of it before?
I also have a stupid question: does the programmer affect the software to be used? I worked on MPLAB with the PIC start plus. Some people are even advising me to build my own programmer! Would that be a reliable solution?
