[sdiy] MPLAB PM3

[Rob Spencer]

<RANT>

So I’ve decided to use a PIC25FJ64GB002 chip for a project and decided to be a good citizen and buy into the MPLAB ecosystem by forking out £711.29 for a PM3. The one in the photo on the RS site has a universal adaptor, however it turns out the adaptor is an extra £152.75.

That adaptor has now arrived, but it turns out it’s the wrong one for this particular chip, the one I need is an extra £180!!!

So by choosing a cheaper PIC chip, it’s actually costing me near on £1k just for the programmer!!

I’m hoping someone can set me straight and point me in the right direction so I can return this junk!
