Hi Guys,
Good evening. Can anyone tell me if they have ever used or know anything about the
Enhanced USB PIC Programmer Microchip PICkit PICkit2.
Will it work to program the DMX Dongle? I read about the Pickit 3 but this one is a little more affordable if it will do the job. I have never done this before so your comments and any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
The link to item is below.
Thank you!
Danny

Get a pickit 3 the newer stuff will all require it.

I was looking into some clones at first, but then decided to go with the real thing. It's enough to maybe need help on building a board, but if the programmer's not working well, then who can help you? it really is worth the money to get the real, actual pickit3.

As you will need the adapter for the Dongle PIC, you can buy it in kit form, this guy gets my vote, fast shipping, excellent service.

I got mine from that guy too, and it shipped really fast, and the price looked right, considering the pickit3 on other sites was like over $70, and this includes an adapter too.

Done!
