I can't build it for that money.

the quality range varies as far too.

Thanks, I have another question, let's say I have a perfect source code
and i just want to download it to my PIC16F873. Can I get this cheap
programmer?

I'm no PIC expert, but people say that the programmers that derive their 12V
supply from the serial port are less reliable than those which use an
external supply, but that's just a generalisation.

The device I see pictured looks well constructed.

I think the JDM programmer may be the one that people are reporting problem
with.

the circuit is in the public domain, have a look on the web for peoples
comments.

Bye.
