PIC Programmer K150: Difference between revisions

This device is obsolete and not compatible with MPLab X (new PIC development tool), so you will have to export files in HEX format from MPLab X and import to DIY application which has released last version in 2007. For small projects I believe this device for 9 USD from E-Bay (Chinese resellers) is fine but for more advanced development is recommended usage of PICKit 3. Before you will buy this device I strongly recommend you to visit [http://www.kitsrus.com/pic.html DIY Site] ([[Mirrors#PIC_Programmer_K150]]) and download latest [http://www.kitsrus.com/zip/DIYpack25ep.zip DIYpack25ep.zip] ([[Mirrors#PIC_Programmer_K150]]) file. Also you will need USB driver for K150 devices (which is different from recommended on DIY site) for [http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=225&pcid=41 Profilic USB to Serial converter] ([[Mirrors#PIC_Programmer_K150]]). Please also be informed that Profilic USB to Serial converter mounted on K150 boards supports only Windows up to version 7. Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 won't work!
