PIC programmer an experiment board from Velleman suitable for programming FLASH PIC(tm) microcontrollers from Microchip. Supports 4 different IC types for: 8p, 14p, 18p and 28p PICs. Test buttons and LED indicators to perform educative experiments. Connect the unit to your computers serial port (RS232) and program your PIC microcontroller chips. This board is JDM compatible (excepted for pin polarity). Here is some features;

This hardware have been reported to work with PiKdev, but it's possible, also, to have Velleman K8048 experiment board on GNU/Linux thanks to the following project open source;
