A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.

I can't upgrade to MPLab 6.x and use my ICD 1. I don't want to cough up $180 for a new ICD 2. Someone know how to modify MPLab 5.x and/or reprogram an ICD1? I see Atmel is giving away AVR JTAGICE in-circuit debuggers at their seminars. AVR's look like they have more bang for the buck, in small quantities anyways. Anyone taking that path have comments for an AVR newbee? The pros/cons of MPLab-ICD 2 vs. AVR Studio 4 with JTAGICE? Thanks, Scott |

Yes, you should be aware that AVR is giving away only OLD JTAG-ICE units. They have a new unit coming out. I wouldn't want you to get stuck again with an ICD-1, when the ICD2 is going to be used for all future development. --- In , "scott5342000" <scottxs@c...> wrote: > I can't upgrade to MPLab 6.x and use my ICD 1. > > I don't want to cough up $180 for a new ICD 2. > > Someone know how to modify MPLab 5.x and/or reprogram an ICD1? > > I see Atmel is giving away AVR JTAGICE in-circuit debuggers at their > seminars.

At 180, the icd2 is enough make me stop and think if I should buy one given that I'm sort of staddled between pic and avr development. However, olimex has an ICD2 clone for $90. Has anyone used it? the price is close to my level of pain. my guess is that it works but with some rough edges. comments? --- In , "Allan Lane" <allan.lane@h...> wrote: > Yes, you should be aware that AVR is giving away > only OLD JTAG-ICE units.
