Hi,
I'm getting started in PIC programming using mainly the tutorials from WinPicProg.co.uk. The site uses the PIC 16F628 which happens to be the chip I was considering using most before I found WinPicProg.
I currently use a laptop to I do not have access to a parallel port with which to program my PIC chips. Can anyone suggest a decent product/kit/circuit that will allow me to program my PIC chips via a USB port? I'm fairly good with electronics so a kit or just a circuit will still be suitable.
Ideally I would like to have the programmer powered by the +5v supplied by the USB port.
Thanks in advance for any advice, links or other suggestions.
