Where to buy Programmers
Depending on the controller design you will either need just a programmer like the Pickit2 or you will also need a ZIF socket to program the PIC. If the controller has an ICSP header then you do not need a ZIF socket, but it is a good idea to purchase one.
Pickit2 and 14pin ZIF socket from DIYC user J1sys
Pickit2 clone with built in ZIF socket from DIYC user tjetzer
Pickit2 clone with ZIF socket from EBay
Zif socket only Useful if you want to buy the socket later and for multiple sizes.
