EB006 or the new MK2 multiprogrammer
Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2018 4:38 pm
Looking at purchasing one of the multiprogrammers but not sure on the old or the new. I realise a quick answer would be go for the latest but I need immediate access to the peripheral EBlocks like RS485, LCD, ADC pot control, temp/humidity etc.
Need something that works out the box with minimum fuss for Ghost ICD . Looks like I can get access to all the Eblocks using the upstream downstream converter boards if I go for the MK2 programmer. Does the MK2 support more PIC devices? Apart from getting something that is bug free (hardware wise) I want it to be good enough to be a test work bench for the future. Why is Matrix still offering the EB006 if the new MK 2 doesn't entirely replace it? Is there something the EB006 can do that the MK 2 doesn't? That's where I'm not sure. The EB006 is cheaper so I save a bit of cash there if I went down that route. Currently not clear on the pros and cons of each so if anyone has some input to make I'm all ears.
