This is one of the **best** device programmers your money can buy
today.
The chinese version is a clone, but completely equal the original.
Here you have the photos :o)
Money is right. The BeeProg+ (the original BeeProg
is discontinued)
is distributed in the USA by B&K as the 866B and by Dataman as the
Dataman 48+Pro. Both are in the 4-digit USD$ range. Please tell me
about the Chinese clones...
Well, at least untill now, it works :o) I cannot tell yet how good they
are, only that they LOOK like the original beeprog. You can buy them in
china here:
http://www.drivestar.biz/beeprog-programmer-p-478.html - this is
the same I've got, but I got mine locally in Brazil.
I had the original beeprog and wish I could have stayed with him. Hope
this chinese clone can work like the original.
Important info: These chinese clones CANNOT BE UPDATED. If you load a
newer software (v2.63, from 2010) on this programer, it will be
instantanealy bricked. This seller (drivestar) has the unbricking program to
load into the 18F263 microcontroller inside the programmer, but you must
choose if you can live with this flaw. For me it is ok, I don't believe I'll
program any chip newer than anything avaiable in 2010.
