Midas:
The P&E
Cyclone Pro has been on the market for several years, and is well tested in many production environments. The Cyclone Pro also boasts an impressive array of top notch features, including: Ethernet,USB, and Serial Port connectivity; an LCD screen for easy control with or without a PC; incredibly fast stand alone programming; and a host of other production-grade features not found on other stand alone programmers. Due to the Ethernet interface, the number of Cyclone Pros that can be ganged is virtually unlimited.
Every HCS08/HC08/HC(S)12 microcontroller is supported right out of the box with the Cyclone Pro, and our high speed HC08 Algorithms are incredibly fast, and free.
Despite this impressive array of features, the Cyclone Pro is by far the least expensive HC08 standalone programmer on the market -- $500. You can find more information at the
Cyclone Pro Homepage.
P&E's philosophy has always been low priced, high quality tools-- and an up-front, no nonsense pricing policy (Support and a generous upgrade period are included with all our tools). We're aiming to continue this tradition with the latest addition to our development tool chain, the Revision C Cyclone Pro.
