Greetings all,
I have looking at digging into switching options via relay bypass, etc, using microcontrollers. I saw the Coda Effects post, and this has further sparked my interest. I was curious if anyone has had any luck with sourcing a PICKit 2/3/4 starter kit. The link to Amazon appears to be dead and some reviews of the kits on there seem to point toward Chinese knockoffs.
Has anyone had luck with purchasing a PICKit programmer recently?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Bradford
Why not buy the real thing? MPLabs stuff works great.

I use what is almost assuredly a Chinese counterfit pickit2, but it has served me well (once I figured how to get it to talk to my chips anyway, the ZIF board works for microcontrollers, not so well for EEPROMs)

edit: note this isn't the actual vendor I purchased from, that particular store appears to no longer exist
Ahh thank you both!!!
$15 doesn't seem too bad to see about getting my feet wet...
I'm mostly curious about relay bypass and other switching solutions. EEPROM-related works seem a bit out of my league at the moment.
Best,
Bradford
