I have seen quite a few scematic for PIC programmers, but know very little about micro controllers to begin with. Has anyone had any experience with home built programmers? Low voltage or high voltage? Serial or parallel chips? Ultimatly, I would like to buy a good universal programmer, but do not have the spare ~$500 right now. There are some cheap programmers to buy for the PICs, but I would prefer to built my own. Which PIC series are the most suitable for small/easy embedded products? Lots of questions, but any answers would be great.
