ICD2 clone full working

Re-uplodead (like matrix but without f****g machines)

Check 1st post in this thread, links are fixed and new uploaded. I don't like polluting threads...

One think i hate deeply is information when it's not well organized, something easy when threads are growing... i tried to sort all (think about the different sources i managed) to make it compreensive and easy to follow.

Anyway K.I.S.S

cya.

I have seen may clone on internet but confuse to choose right one can any body tell me is it better to use PIC18F4550 OR USB TO SERIAL IC LIKE FTDI .Is there is speed difference between CLONE WHICH USE pic18f4550 and those which use FTDI IC .Also tell me what is purpose of PIC18F4550 is it is used as rs232 to serial convertor ?

18f4550: Full Speed, USB 2.0
FTDI: Low, Full or Hi speed USB 2.0 depending on the chip.  (http://www.ftdichip.com/FTProducts.htm)

I haven't used the FTDI chips so i can't say much about them. Think about the PIC has native USB but the FTDI behaves like an UART, therefore you are limited to only a kind of possible configuration whereas the PIC can be configured for the 4 different working modes of the USB.
Resuming, FTDI is intended to simply the interfacing and focused in the communication and the PIC is real USB so you can create different kind of USB devices (HID, CDC, etc.).

If you see a PIC with USB support surely it's being used for REAL USB communication, not like a rs232-usb conversor (for that the FTDI and other chips were invented). Of course you can use the PIC in such a way but... it's a waste unless you need special features.

For simplicity of FTDI and i have also breakout board so i want to use FTDI but i have also option of using PIC MICRO. So
infrom me in which mode PIC18F4550 ICD2 CLONE Is operating,CDC,OR SLAVE PARALLEL PORT OR RS232

Its long since I read the Datasheet for 4550 but as far as I remember its parallel port but I would suggest why not go through datasheet before asking such question
