Post by thread:PIC In-Circuit Emulator ?

Hi Folks, Recently I've been thinking to buy an In-circuit emulator for PIC, however, I don't know much about which is good. Can anyone suggest some brands ? Any information available such as the features, prices ? Thanks. Regards, Nevin K. Ng spam_OUTkngTakeThisOuThkstar.com

Unfortunately, it costs $2300 (or $3000 with a PRO-MATE programmer). I'm currently evaluating a lower-end emulator called the ICEPIC, from RF Technologies. While it's missing some of the features which I find most useful in the PIC-Master (hardware trace, external logic probes, etc.), it's considerably cheaper ($800 or so). When my evaluation's complete, I'll post a message here describing my experiences. -Andy Andrew Warren - fastfwdKILLspamix.netcom.com Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California http://www.geopages.com/SiliconValley/2499
