Title: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: mrpicing on May 16, 2008, 05:28:12 05:28 hi friends!
There are lot of "Universal Programmers" claiming a huge supported device list. I have used Micromaster WinLV48(Discontinued) and PINMaster48. WinLV48 was the best but company discontinued the upgrade support. I need to know which one is the best programmer currently available? My points are given below >Price doesn't matter >Windows 2K and XP support >USB and (Optional) Parallel Interface >Max supported device >Upgrades for Programmer Firmware >Upgrades for IDE >Upgrades for New Devices >Maximum supported Hex File Formates >Hex Editing >Custome Test vectors for LOGIC ICs (i found it in WinLV48). I saw a lot of programmers on the web. Each says a lot about itself. But i need your advice if you have used or know about any good programmer. Thanks in advance! Have a nice day!

Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: Stefkeb on May 17, 2008, 10:17:16 10:17 Hi,
The ALL100 (www.hilosystems.com.tw) is an excellent machine with great support, for all types of devices and packages a socket or converter is available. It is not cheap but certainly worth the money. Recommended for professional use. For home use I have a GALEP-4 (www.conitec.com), a lot cheaper and never let me down. Rgds, StefkeB.

Post by: mikisoft on May 17, 2008, 04:26:36 16:26 Hi, I have PRESTO from ASIX company. http://tools.asix.net/ (http://tools.asix.net/) It is ICSP programmer made in Czech republic. It is very cheap and it is also supporting PIC, AVR, EEPROMS and others. But be carefull of polarity - I lost one when i connected it contrariwise :).

i recomend this one: http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/bk-precision/device-programmers/844USB.htm this the best programmer.... i have one :D Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: bogdantk on July 28, 2008, 06:51:58 06:51 I can confirm ELNEC has by far the best value for money.
Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: 0sLtEd43bZ5z on July 28, 2008, 09:58:58 09:58 From personal experiences I really recommend LabTool-48UXP Intelligent Universal Programmer
http://www.aec.com.tw/ It's reasonably priced (~1kEUR) and it supports all kind of devices. I have programmed with it different microcontrollers, flashes, eeproms and it supports much more. Check out list of supported devices. It also has instructions how to make adapters for non-DIP housings. Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: beque on July 28, 2008, 12:04:42 12:04 I also confirm, Beeprog+ from elnec is one of the best...
Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: localcrack on July 28, 2008, 09:25:38 21:25 Superpro 3000U is the best one.
It supports lots of chips. It also includes logic chip testing function. Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: oscar.inc on August 07, 2008, 10:43:03 22:43 greetings, :) :) :) I have a brand eetools programmer, ;D ;D ;D I have the model unimax, spoke to them and explain them a bit and you make a judgement
usb is, and is based in zif for 40 pin dip, to purchase special adapters for each type of capsule of the circuits, the developer is home uses supports much devices, cost me around 1600 usd, :( :( :( was expensive for me :'( :'( :'( :'(having to pay costs and taxes to be imported >:( >:( >:( >:(, if someone uses a live, to get around 900 usd in reading and writing devices that the algorithm presents is not very good >:( >:( >:(, works with software max loader :P :P :P, which is a free download :D :D :D , the program most commercial devices such as microchip pic of almost all 16f 12F, 12c,, avr atmel, cops from National Semiconductor cop 8, microcontrollers motorola hc05, hc08, hc00, HC11, hc 12, supports gals :D :D :D , the biggest disadvantage is that I find the presentation of the code ??? ??? ??? ???, since it is difficult to edit a buffer >:( >:( >:( , and that does not support msp430 >:( >:( >:( , supports intel, 8051, all family and some rare devices that do not know ??? ??? ???, worked in almost all commercial operating systems for computer, I use a win xp hope that the information they have been very useful, if needed more information visit the manufacturer eetols. com greetings to the entire forum :D :D Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best?

sorry, it's Chiness website. but it also a good universal programmer . it can support more than 35000+ devices. Im also a dummy to prog pic. For PIC , my suggestion is PicKit2($40), ICD2($130), Real ICE($330). Title: Re: which universal programmer is the best? Post by: snoopy on August 14, 2008, 06:55:42 06:55 I have Labtool 48 and is very good for old devices. In the market you can buy copy of this with very low price, see ebay.
Problem of copy is that upgrade for new devices is not supported any more. So if you need for new devices this programmer will not be good. You must buy original Labtool 48XP than you will have full support. Snoopy |
