Description: The PIC-PG3B is a powerful programmer based on David Tait's parallel port design. To operate it needs an external power supply of 12-15VAC or 16-18VDC. It supports all 8/18/28 and 40 pin PIC microcontrollers which allow serial programming. This programmer comes with an ICSP connector and cable can be used to program the P28B, P40B, and other prototype boards.
