Hi, has anyone used the USB programmer from Terasic? The cost is $50.

Why is Altera's USB programmer so expensive? 

 

Thanks, 

Joe

Yes, I have several. They work well. Almost as well as Altera's own which have been carefully hand-crafted my master carpenters with hundreds of man years experience producing Blasters. Costly stuff. 

 

Why the difference? Simple rules of commerce. 

 

Cheers, 

Alex
