Does anyone know if a rfPIC can be programmed with an inexpensive programmer (and by inexpensive I mean under 200USD)? It looks like ICD2 won't do it nor will a PicStart. I own a Warp-13A and have had luck using it for ICSP on the couple of chips I've programmed. Ideally I would like to use it to program rfPICs but after seeing what MPLAB reports for compatiblity when a rfPIC is selected and the documentation I've seen on uChips' site I'm a bit concerned it won't work. (I haven't don't a chip yet and was considering buying a demo board from uChip but I would hate to shell out 130USD and not be able to program the things.) --Scott |

Okay, looking at the docs again it looks like maybe the ICD2 can program them. > I own a Warp-13A and have had luck using it for ICSP on the couple > of chips I've programmed.

It looks like the development kit includes a "PICkit 1 Flash Starter Kit" which can program the rfPICs. I'm guessing I will be able to program them with the Warp-13A via ICSP too. I first looked at this aspect of the rfPICs during lunch today at work and I was a bit rushed. Although all looks well now, I'm still interesting in knowing if anyone has worked with them and if my assertions are true. Thanks, Scott |

I planned to make Wisp628 compatible with the 30F's, but so far I have hit the wall when trying to get either a sample or the programming specifications.
