Pickit!

Post by jgu1 »

Hello everyone (Experts)!

Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask?

I have tried to investigate about Pickit 2 and 3. I can understand, one of the benefit using Pickit, is that you can program your pic while it is in the final project and you do not have to move your pic from your program unit to the project and back again when developing or testing its program. :?:
I also see that you use the Reset Vcc, Vdd, PGC and Pgd for programming and understand that you have to either keep those legs free or make a switch (jumper for programming or run). And if you want to use Pickit with FC, ​​you must first make your program and then Compile it to hex, download hexfile to Pickit's software and then program the Pic while sitting in his final print. Am I correct in my assumptions :?:
:idea: Is it not possible to use MM EB006 construct a programming cable which connects the PGC, Pgd, Vdd, Vcc and reset (between EB006 and the Pic) and then program the pic direct via FC in its final print in the same way as Pickit :?:
Of course, I could just try, but would rather ask experts before I might blow my EB006 off :lol:

Thank´s in advance

Jorgen

Don't forget to connect ground as well.

That would work. However, there is a faster option: you can also have flowcode call the pogramming software directly to program the device. Check the FAQ for the correct settings for PICkit2 or PICkit3.

If you search the forums you will find references to using the EB006 for ICSP. There is a FAQ entry on the subject as well. (Here is one of the messages)

BTW. I found all the information in 10 minutes using the search function of the forum (top right of the page). There is a wealth of information already available :-)
