Today I received my new device programmer in the post; It's a TOP3100, it's primarily use is for programming my PIC and flash memory chips but hopefully I should be able to use it for other things. The serial JDM programmer I was using before this is very basic, and only works on older computers with a serial port.
I tested a few chips with it this afternoon and it's really nice and fast, one nice feature it has is that it will test pretty much all standard logic chips!!
(Update 20th Jan. 2014) TopWin6 / TopWin7 Model TOP3100 problem programming the PIC18F2520 chips?
Recently I have tried the programmer with these chips and I get verify errors; it clearly seems to have a problem with these. Last night I ordered a PICKit 2 so when that arrives I can verify the chip tested are indeed ok. The PICKit 2 isn't the latest PICKit, but it was cheaper than a PICKit 3.
(to be continued!)
