I am trying to build a programmer, just something simple to load the ICD2 firmware into the PIC16F876A or 877A, whichever I use. My big issue is that I've heard that the JDM design programmers are a no go with laptops due to the low voltages used on laptop serial ports. Not really an issue for me as mine doesn't even have one, just usb. I do have a USB to RS232 adapter, but heard that they are not able to be used either, so I don't know what the solution for me is as I don't have another computer together right now. Anyone have a work around for this?
