Title: Sub-$5 PIC32 Programmer
Post by: dpropicweb on December 03, 2015, 10:44:00 am
A cheap Chinese Arduino NANO ($3) plus 5 resistors and a zener diode = a cheap PIC32 programmer for Windows, Linux and OS X.

Nice. But still feels like cheating as old PIC required 12-13 V programming voltage. I miss the old days. :(

Nice work ! Easy and cheap. I will probably try it.

I beta tested it for the author under OS X, and WIndows 7 and 10 running under Parallels on OS X. It works well. He was running it under Linux. here are some speed compromises so that it will run under all three operating systems. From memory, Windows could be nearly twice as fast, but had to be slowed down for OS X and Linux. Source is available, so you can always tweak it if you use Windows.

Thank you for this great Information, with which speed can be programmed?

The speed depends a lot on the OS and computer being used. Windows 10 running in a  VM under OSX = 1607 bytes per second; Linux Mint = 2141 bytes per second.
