Please Help - Programming PIC18F2525 using Arduino

I bought one PIC18F2525 and was trying to program it using my Arduino Uno Rev.3. I am able to program Attiny2313 very easily but programming PIC micro controller is very tricky.

I found one very good post Ardpicprog: Main Page but it was for PIC16F.

Can any one help me to program PIC18F using Arduino?

Can you suggest any? Any ref site?

I was trying using the post mentioned above but could not find values for PIC18f2525 like below. Do you have any idea from where i can get this details?

Wouldn't it be much easier to use Atmel MCUs ?

...R

Yes you are right Atmel MCU are very easy to program. But I was looking for PIC18F as I already have one. :frowning:

Why use Arduino? Why not just use the PIC toolchain?

Because then I have to buy one.. and i don't have money to spent... :frowning:

If you don't have a PIC, why do you need to know how to program it using an Arduino? You sound like a troll.

An Atmega328 chip costs £2 or so. I can't imagine that your own time is worth so little that it makes sense to spend hours trying to figure out how to use a PIC chip just because you happen to have it. Fold the pins over and use it as a book mark.

Fold the pins over and use it as a book mark.

If you folded the pins over, it would be a staple, wouldn't it?

you people r really SUCKS!!

Why would you think that users of an Arduino forum know anything at all about PIC's ?

You are the one who didn't figure out what he needed before buying stuff. Now, who sucks? We are under no obligation to show sympathy and hold your hand. Generally, when a thread devolves to this point it is because the answer to the question is "No, you can't get there from here."

I suspect this was sparked by my comment that your investment in the PIC chip is not worth protecting.

I stand by that comment. Economists would consider it a sunk cost.

I made this comments because people who are replying to my topic does not have any expertise. They don't have attitude for exploring new things or helping other rather than demotivate.

I am really surprised to see the comments "Why would you think that users of an Arduino forum know anything at all about PIC's " .... :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

What is he doing here... he should be kicked out.

Someone is going to get kicked out, that seems almost inevitable.

(I moved this to "Microcontrollers" - I can see no Earthly reason for it to be in a section clearly labelled "Understanding the language, error messages, etc.")

My apology, if my comments hurt people who are really there to help others. For example "spycatcher2k" who has an attitude to understand the problem and guide people accordingly rather pulling his leg and try to make fun of it.

After not getting any solution from my post I did some search and found some quality information which I am sharing with you. Here is some quality discussion link below where real technical people discussed some quality discussion.

Hope people like "spycatcher2k" will understand why i get annoyed.
