Hi ... and... if you power the target board with the PICSTART, it may go down the drain. It can't handle the current. I have however sucessfully powered the target, and then connected my PICSTART, and then programmed the PIC. Should work if the pins (often RB6 and RB7 - depends on PIC) are connected to soething hi-Z; that is, if the RB6 and 7 are outputs anyway. MCLR must also handle "abuse" from your PICSTART. /Sven > I have used the picstart plus by simply putting a header on my board that > connects the relevant pins for a given processor, then take a socket for > the > processor and soldre the wires into the cups and putting header on the end > of the wires.
