Hello, it may work for you

An open source USB programmer for PIC micros, ATMEL micros, I2C-SPI-MicroWire-OneWire-UNIO serial memories, generic I2C/SPI devices.


Completely free and Open Source (including firmware)

Programs PIC10-12-16-18-24, dsPIC30-33, ATMEL AVR (serial and HV serial programming), serial memories like 24xxxx (I2C), 25xxx (SPI), 93xx6 (MicroWire), DS24xx (OneWire), 11xxx (UNIO), communicates with generic I2C & SPI devices (see supported devices)

Can work as ICD debugger with some PIC16F devices

USB 2.0 Full Speed interface, HID class (same as keyboards, mice, etc.)

Self powered

Doesn't need drivers

Built from easy to find components (estimated cost ~5€)

Hardware generated timings for maximum speed and reliability (writes a 18F2550 in 10s)

Important!! Don't use 3.3V devices without the 3.3V expansion boards, otherwise permanent damage may occur; the software verifies that such adapters are present before starting to program, but obviously you need to select the proper device; the 3.3V devices are:
12F1xxx,16F1xxx,18FxxJxx,18FxxKxx,24Fxxx,24Hxxx,33Fxxx.
Some of them have 5V variants; if you need to program at 5V you can select the option "Don't require LV boards". Also don't put any 24F-33F on the 30F socket, which works at 5V.

It looks like a really good programmer. Thanks for finding it and posting it gevv.

I'll see if I can build one and test it out, and 'maybe' add some newer devices to it.

Did you find time to build and test this programmer already? Me still using the PicKit 2 and 3. Does the job for me but would like to get myself 1 decent programmer instead. Thanks for your time.

Hi, I need to read a 1-wire DS28EC20 memory and possibly also write it. I can solve the problem with this programmer. Thanks

Have you looked at the PicKit minus software for the PICKIT2 or 3 ?
http://kair.us/projects/pickitminus/

It supports a huge selection of PICs, has a GUI or command line so integrates with Visual Code and seems to be updated quite often.
I'm using it to program some of the 18F Q devices.

Windows or Linux versions available including the source code.
