Anyone have any recommendations for a PIC programmer? My current one died tonight. Something relatively low cost would be great, thanks!

Well I would be happy with a 5v supply for right now for my PIC projects. So if I get one of the 12.6v center tapped transformers from Radio Shack, follow the schematic Newz2000 linked to in his earlier post and put a 5v voltage regulator on the output I should be all set? Thanks for all the help gu...

There are websites dedicated to this topic, for one http://www.mp3car.com/. There are power supplies specifically made for "carputers" that will handle all the voltages, crank, shutdown, etc. You don't have to wait for the computer to shutdown the power supply will sense the car has been t...

Thanks for the ideas guys, I might give it a shot and build my own this weekend.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably affordable bench power supply? I am done dealing with batteries when working with my PIC projects. Also I am going to be looking into working on some other electronic projects so I will need variable voltage.

Kam,

I have had success with this technique.

JPKNHTP Thanks! No wonder I couldn't find it, I had it in my head that it must have been a Servo article. I have the the article in front of me right now. Thanks for the help!

I am hoping someone can help me remember what issue of Servo a certain article was in. The author was talking about creating a helicopter, similar to the dragan flyer. It was a a helicopter with 4 blades and I believe he metioned that he was going to try and use an Isopod for the brains. Does this s...
