Hi I just finished my project with a bs2e . Now I want to make cheaper
duplicate with ether a sx key or a blitz programmer..
so I can give my project as a gift to my friends.
my project is a temp. read-out with vb .. can anyone explain to me what I
should I do .. should I use a pic programmer such as the El-Cheapo ?
I'm not familiar with things other than bs
's

in assembly language (not so simple).

should I try the SX-key or blitz as far as assembly language is/con, I am
familiar with but not with progrraming pic's / micro/con.

You could just buy an "SX Key" from Parallax, which is the small adaptor you
need to program the chips, then make your own 9 pin serial cable. You will
find all the documentation you need at the Parallax site, and software etc,
but you can't program or debug an SX chip without the "SX Key". You can
easily make up your own breadboard / veroboard and ic socket to have a play.
SX chips are great because you can run them without an external oscillator /
caps etc if the application does not require high speed or accurate timing.
If I were you, I would get the SX Key, and go from there. Email me off list
if you buy one, and I will try help some more. The help on the SX user list
is quite technical, and "SX for dummies" questions seem to get unanswered.

Chris

Another option is the Microchip PIC16F628. It is an 18-pin device that
can also be run without an external crystal. It runs at 4MHz using the
internal RC mode and can be programmed with several really cheap
programmers that can be found on the net. Microchip's MPLAB IDE and
assembler are free downloads as well.
