I burned bootloaders onto a few PIC 16f876 chips using the LuckyBite programmer. it works in Leopard using vmware fusion. The bootloader burns reliably. They use Microcode Studio to compile picbasic and that software is no good. It can't handle the USB-Serial convertors and often has problems requiring a restart. Same problem if run through bootcamp. This is a major reason for me to abandon PICs and move to Arduinos as much as possible.
Can the integration of behavioural science in a project help you to meet precise objectives? This week, I would like to provide an answer to that question using a case study.
eBay has numerous tools to help users but had a problem to make them visible, relevant and understandable.
eBay has 4 well-defined objectives for the help centre of the site in mind. But those 4 objectives had never been met.

up to this point, I've been doing quick prototyping with the Arduino Diecimila and then move to the PIC 16f876 programmed with picbasic in windows (vmware fusion)(pain in the rear). I like the libraries and language for Arduinos so I bought some chips and started burning bootloaders.
I had some atmega8 which burned using the Diecimila as the programmer (http://www.arduino.cc/playground/BootCloner/BootCloner). That worked fine but I didn't get it to work for the atmega168 with a Diecimila hex file. I had a go at it but no luck. I won't need those till I start making boards again (next week? eh?).
