@corn45009 thanks!!

how did you make your universal programing board?

[kdarrah1234]

@finch0seven its just a ziff socket with the wires going from the pickit header to the pins on the ziff socket, it now programs arduino chips, and AVR chips, same idea though

@kdarrah1234 Thanks!

@TheGhettoRepairman Look at the video review from EEVblog, you will never buy the PICKit 3 after seeing that. ;-)

[kdarrah1234]

@TheGhettoRepairman Na, the PICkit2 works really well for me

[kdarrah1234]

@TheGhettoRepairman The compiler automatically builds the hex file from your C code. I use MikroC to write and build the file

Thank you.

What is easy to learn, C or assembly?

[kdarrah1234]

@jktailor

oooo, good question... go with C, I use MikroC for pic

[jktailor]

Thanks a lot for this educational video. It was really helpful. I was going to buy one soon and you made my decision easy. I was between pickit2 and pickit3.

@jktailor

Thanks for watching, glad it helped. The Pickit2 never lets me down.

[kdarrah1234]

Thanks a lot!! The pickit II really is my favorite programmer, stay tuned... I've got a video coming up to demo out the logic tool.
