[Diy_efi] Re: Getting started with PIC or Atmel AVR or whatever

[Dan Zorde]

I use the 16F877 here at work, I'm quite content with using the MPLAB
ICD Module with a made up ICSP cable.  Think this cost us around US$90
from our PIC supplier.  This has the added benefit of also helping
during debugging (supposedly, haven't actually tried it as the software
guys have an emulator).

I think the PIC starter kit also allows for ICSP.
