I've been using a velleman PIC programmer board connected to my desktop without any problems (apart from I now have about 10 chips it refuses to do anything with but that's another issue) I need to adjust the timings of a program I have written while at another location. They have a desktop the same as mine I can use but I thought I would use my laptop to blow the new program to the chip. It doesn't have a 9 pin serial port on it so I bought one of https://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=29968&criteria=serial%20adaptor&doy=27m11. there were no problems installing this, laptop rebooted, connected the velleman board to it, changed the serial port on picprog2 to COM3 as this is what the USB adaptor registered itself as. The velleman board was detected. The program will erase the chip with no problems, but if I try to blow a program into it, it just says "erasing" then "writing" but never moves on and just errors out after a while. Has anyone got any suggestions?
Also are there any decent USB programmers I should look at buying? Perhaps a decent one will bring back the growing pile of unusable PICs !!
