Everyone has a different requirement for programming PIC Microcontrollers, from the basic 'how do I get started', through updating PIC microcontrollers in the field, to full scale production of thousands of circuit boards. The best solution for you depends on how you answer these simple questions:

• Have you got experience with PIC programmers and PIC microcontrollers?
  If not, we suggest a combined PIC Programmer and development kit
  PIC Trainer including PIC Programmer
  
  
• Do you want to program PIC microcontrollers in a socket, in small volume?
  The lowest cost solution is the
  VP-590 48-pin Microchip PIC Programmer
  
  
• Do you want to program PIC microcontrollers in a socket, in large volume?
  The Xeltek Programmer range includes USB Programmers and Gang Programmers for all Microchip PIC microcontrollers and other device
  Xeltek USB Programmer Range
  
  
• Do you want a PC based USB PIC ICSP Programmer, for In System Programming of PIC Microcontrollers?
  The PRESTO USB PIC Programmer supports all Microchip PIC microcontrollers, including dsPIC and PIC24 using ICSP
  PRESTO USB PIC Programmer
  
  
• Do you want to program PIC microcontrollers without a PC?
  For a PIC Programmer that doesn't use a PC, either for production or field updates, you need one of our standalone Keyfob, handheld or Portable PIC programmers
  Standalone PIC Programmers
  
  
• Do you want a PIC programmer that also programs other devices such as flash memory or more microcontrollers?
  A wide range of USB Universal Programmers, with socket and ICSP programming can be viewed in our
  USB Universal Programmer Range
  
  
• What standalone PIC Programmer do I need?
  The Keyfob PIC Programmer is lower cost but is less robust and cannot power target, Handheld programmers are tougher, with better device support and Portable PIC Programmer is really flexible.
  PIC Standalone Programmer Range
  
  
• I want a standalone PIC Programmer that can store more than 1 program
  See 8-way Handheld PIC Programmer
  
  or Portable PIC Programmer

Other Microchip PIC Resources

If you haven't designed your PIC microcontroller circuit yet, then have a look at our recommended PIC Microcontroller ICSP interface. Microchip are a bit vague about the best design for ICSP (In System Programming) and tend to change their mind in different diagrams, so we have created a PIC schematic that will work with all PIC programmers.
