Hello!
I was on the hunt for a USB PIC microcontroller programmer after losing interest in the GTP-USB-Lite.
After a night long search, I found the June Bug Programmer by Blueroom Electronics. The programmer Side is a PICKit 2 Version without the EEPROM's used for On the Go Programming.
The trick to getting this programmer to work is to use a 18F2550 programmed with a .Hex file provided by Microchip. Once this is done, you can calibarate and use the programmer. Oh yes! Once the Chip is programmed, you can update it's firmware by pressing a Push-button on-board.
This makes sure you can program the latest supported PIC micro controller.
This Is a Must Have for Any Hobbyist!!!
Since The PCB is not available on the internet, I decided to ask Theo, a Young Lad who seems to have the knack, even though he is not into RF Design and Construction (yet!).
Here is the PCB and the Component Layout in PDF format.
The Hardware is supported by MPLAB and the hex file can be found in the MPLAB installation directory.
More Updates soon!
