Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Embedded Processors & Controllers
The hardware is very good for the money, and it is great to get a one piece ZIF socket programmer for such a low price. But while the listing is vague on this topic, the product is very difficult to use with Windows 10. This is due to driver issues with an unauthorized copy or unsupported IC used for the USB to serial transceiver. Also the software is leveraged from the original K150 kit product that this unit is based on, which is no longer supported, with a closed source and protocol. So will be difficult to impossible to upgrade to use with additional newer PICs.

Why are people still selling this? The drivers no longer work in Windows 10, so if you have Windows 10, forget about it. Avoid the drivers on the laborjag site, because they've got a virus. This software for this device hasn't been updated in years so won't work with a lot of newer PICs. Really mad at myself for not doing the research before I purchased.

Product software support is dated. IT could be a more useful tool if the software didn't hold it back.

good programmer
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
I purchased this programmer to duplicate the programming on a PIC 16F676 eeprom. It took hours to find a driver that would work in Windows 10, but once I found one, it worked flawlessly.
