Hi,

You can use Pickit2 usb programmer. I used in ubuntu without any 
problem. Piklab can use with 1.x firmware version. If you want to use 
Pickit2 with latest firmware than you need to use microchip linux program.

Hi Rudolf,

The Pickit2 configuration choices were a bit confusing, so I decided to order a 
different serial board that contains actual 16550s. Now that I've had a chance 
to assimilate what I've learned, the problem is traced to the 3 Volt 3243 chips 
that are in today's serial boards.  After doing more searching, I found a post 
by Roberto, EB4EQA on QSL.net  where he made an booster to get around the 
problem.  If the new serial board doesn't work out, Roberto's booster looks 
simple enough to hack together and I can continue to put off switching from my 
trusty old JDM.  I may make 2 of them so I can get LIRC pulled off of the 
motherboard port, as well.

[time-nuts] PIC Programmer for Piklab in Linux?

Can anyone suggest a PIC programmer that will work with Piklab on Linux?  The 
replacement serial board I just bought won't drive my JDM Classic PIC 
programmer.  It doesn't reliably drive my LIRC IR transmitter either, so I have 
to devote the serial port on my motherboard to LIRC.  My GPSDO development is

I neglected to mention that I'm pretty much limited to USB or ethernet (if such 
a programmer exists) at this point.

I =switched over to USB based development boards a few years back.

Must have a mini USB on them and you never even need to think about
programming you simply click upload in the text editor.  You can get
them with ARV, Adruino, ARM and other CPUs.  Prices in some cases under $5.
 I've not had to build a PCB either as these come ready to use.

Maybe time to switch.  These modern boards have about a 10 minute learning
curve.  From cutting open the box to first running program.

The gadget below has a usb jack, is self programming, connects direct (with
only a USB cable) to any Linux/Mac or windows computer.  It has about a
half dozen analog pins (dac/adc) and a dozen digital pins.  eBay's for
under $10.  If you install 0.1 male header s it drops into a solderless
bread board, (there are many things like this.)

Stand alone programmers are going to be harder and harder to find as time
goes on.
