Hi,
As the subject suggests I am confused on how to decide which type of programmer to use. Last weekend I built the p16pro and had little luck with it. once in say 50 times, it programmed my 16f628 well and gave the dreaded 'program verify failed'/'config fuses verify error' in the rest.
Lot of playing with the 330pf capacitor etc was of little help but could never get it to 100% reliability. I have check the MCLR voltage and the cable length etc too. no use
I was wondering if a JDM would be any better in stability/reliability.
Thanks & Regards,
